Emergency Contraception
Emergency contraception is a tablet that a woman takes to help prevent pregnancy following unprotected sex. Unprotected sex includes when other forms of contraception have failed in some way, such as a condom coming off during sex. Emergency Hormonal Contraception works by delaying the release of an egg during the ovulation phase of your menstrual cycle. Pop into our pharmacy today if you need emergency hormonal contraception.
Facial Hair Removal
Having dark, thick or coarse hair growth on the face may be very distressing to most women. There are a few different reasons why this may happen including genetics, use of certain medication, being overweight or even having a medical condition such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). If you are concerned about your hair growth it’s good to get professional advice and even treatment if you wish. Here at Phoenix Pharmacy, we provide a wide range of treatment options that may help you.
HPV Vaccine
The HPV vaccine works to prevent infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). the Human papillomavirus is spread through sexual contact and can cause a multitude of sexual diseases such as genital warts. HPV can also cause cervical, anal, penile, oropharyngeal, vulvar and vaginal cancer therefore it’s essential to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
Period Pain & Period Delay
Most women experience some pain during their period at some point in their lives. This rarely indicates anything serious, however, the pain can be quite debilitating and radiate across the abdomen, back and thighs. Phoenix Pharmacy can help by prescribing stronger painkillers. As well as this we can also help with Period Delay.
Period delay is when you choose to delay your normal monthly period. Sometimes, this is done by taking a period delay tablet called Norethisterone. There are many reasons why you may choose to delay your period. Maybe you have a wedding or holiday planned and you want to delay your period until after the event. Likewise, you may wish to avoid the stress or discomfort of a period during a house move, job change or another stressful event.
Thrush
Thrush is a common yeast infection that affects men and women. It’s usually harmless but it can be uncomfortable and keep coming back. Symptoms of thrush depend on where it is on the body. It usually causes itchiness, irritation and a white discharge that looks like cottage cheese. Thrush can usually be treated with antifungal medicine and treatment should work within a week.
