Journey Overview

#1 Book an Appointment

If you tested with us, you can usually book directly for treatment.

If you tested elsewhere, a consultation will first be required so that one of our clinicians can review your symptoms, medical history, and test results. Bringing evidence of your positive result is recommended where possible.

#2 Receive Treatment

If treatment is clinically appropriate and safe to proceed, you will be asked to attend the clinic for treatment.

#3 Further Actions

• Avoid sexual contact until you and your partner(s) have completed treatment and symptoms have resolved.
• Inform recent sexual partner(s) so they can receive appropriate treatment.
• If taking metronidazole, avoid alcohol during treatment and for 48 hours after your final dose.
• Routine repeat testing is not required if symptoms resolve. If symptoms persist or return, speak to your healthcare professional; NAAT/PCR testing should be performed at least 3 weeks after treatment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been trying to get my coil replaced since May on the NHS, but they couldn't do it as my threads have been cut too short. Waiting lists for NHS gynae appointment are insane (~1 year) so after some deliberating I decided to go private. I chose Clarewell Clinics as they had great reviews and also compared to other clinics, were a lot more reasonably priced.

I booked an ultrasound guided coil removal in hopes that Dr. Elena would be able to do it without needing to go down a more invasive route. Thankfully, she did it with ease and also replaced it with a Mirena coil (on the NHS they had told me my uterus was too small so had to go with Kyleena).

It was such a more pleasant experience than when I did it on the NHS. Dr. Elena and Yemi kept me comfortable and eased my anxiety the whole way through the process. The pain relief options were also better- air and gas was a lifesaver! I could still feel the pain but it was milder and so much more bareable than the insertion I had 5 years ago. It was over quickly and I was sent away with a heat pack to ease the cramping afterwards.

Thank you so much Dr Elena, Yemi and also Ryaan for being a friendly face in the reception.

I would thoroughly recommend Clarewell Clinics :)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a mirena replacement with Elena, supported by Ryan.
I have previously had bad experiences, but the approach here and the pain management meant if I had to come back next week for another one, I’d do it.
I arrived feeling sick and shaking but Ryan put me at ease, Elena did a fantastic and quick job and the gas and air made a huge difference, I barely felt anything.  The whole team were friendly and welcoming and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.  I had an injection and she didn’t wait for pain to come to manage it, it was managed upfront.  I’m so incredibly grateful, thank you.  Ryan and Elena are a fantastic team

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a copper coil removal yesterday with Dr Praveen Jayadeva. If you are at all nervous about an iud fitting or removal, I couldn't recommend this clinic enough. I had a very painful experience at a different clinic that made me really scared about the removal procedure. They really take the time to talk you through what's going to happen and what type of pain relief options you have. They were so friendly and comforting (both the doctor and the amazing assistant) and procedure was so quick. They even offer you tea and biscuits afterwards. Really fantastic and professional clinic!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a coil done here. It was an amazing experience, really worth the money paid. The doctor took the time to go through the process and all the options in detail. I felt prepared and well cared for. I had numbing gel and spray and also gas and air. The actual coil fitting was less then 5 minutes. I felt a little discomfort, but the gas and air managed this very well. The team were all very supportive and caring.
My coil lasts for 5 years, I'm very happy with my experience. Could not recommend enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Malu was able to help me fully understand and put into context my concerns surrounding HPV, which at times can feel like a confusing subject. His ability to listen and understand my concerns with empathy and without judgement was very helpful. I am grateful for the expertise and care given by Dr. Malu and the staff at his clinic. The team provides a very professional and comfortable experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic and caring team from booking process, reception, appointment and billing. Went for a coil removal. They had ultrasound and gas for pain management (when I checked it seemed they were the only clinic that offered this!!). 100% recommend. Especially if you’re getting a coil, want to make sure you do it with a top professional team. I inserted it elsewhere and it was a barbaric procedure for me, insanely painful and just awful. So save yourself unnecessary trauma/pain

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a great experience at Clarewell Clinic. I was extremely nervous about the pain before my copper IUD fitting, but Dr Praveen Jayadeva explained everything clearly throughout the appointment and made me feel completely comfortable. I was given pain relief and the fitting was honestly so much easier than I expected — I barely felt any pain at all. Yasmin was also incredibly lovely and reassuring throughout. I’m genuinely so happy I chose Clarewell and would definitely recommend them. 10/10.

FAQs

Show All Answers

What do you offer for Trichomonas Vaginalis Treatment?

We offer consultation, diagnosis and treatment for Trichomonas Vaginalis. If you have already tested positive elsewhere, a consultation is required before treatment is prescribed. Trichomoniasis is usually treated with metronidazole, with the dose and regimen based on your individual circumstances. Current sexual partner(s) should receive appropriate treatment to reduce the risk of reinfection.

Should I tell my partners that I am receiving Trichomonas Vaginalis Treatment?

Yes. Current sexual partners and any recent partners should be informed so they can be tested and treated, even if they do not have symptoms.

If partners are not treated, you can become infected again after treatment. Avoid vaginal, anal, and oral sex until everyone has completed treatment and symptoms have resolved.

How effective is Trichomonas Vaginalis Treatment?

Trichomoniasis treatment is highly effective when taken as prescribed. Metronidazole cures most infections.

Complete the full course, avoid alcohol while taking metronidazole, and avoid sex until both you and your partner(s) have completed treatment to reduce the risk of reinfection. If symptoms continue after treatment, further assessment may be needed.

Are there any side effects of Trichomonas Vaginalis Treatment treatment I should be aware of?

Metronidazole is generally well tolerated, but common side effects include nausea, a metallic taste, loss of appetite, headache, abdominal discomfort, and dizziness.

Avoid alcohol during treatment and for 48 hours after your last dose, as it can cause severe nausea and vomiting. Seek medical advice if you develop signs of an allergic reaction or cannot complete your treatment because of side effects.

How does Trichomonas Vaginalis Treatment differ for pregnant women?

Metronidazole is generally considered safe during pregnancy and is recommended to treat trichomoniasis. The most appropriate treatment regimen will depend on your individual circumstances.

Treating the infection is important because untreated trichomoniasis has been linked to pregnancy complications, including preterm birth. Your sexual partner(s) should also be treated to prevent reinfection.

Is there any effective home treatments for Trichomonas Vaginalis Treatment?

No. There are no home remedies or over-the-counter treatments that cure Trichomonas Vaginalis.

The infection requires prescription antibiotics, usually metronidazole. Sexual partner(s) should also be treated, and you should avoid sex until treatment is complete.

How long does the Trichomonas Vaginalis Treatment treatment take to work?

Symptoms may begin to improve within a few days of starting treatment. Complete your prescribed treatment and avoid sexual contact until you and your partner(s) have completed treatment and symptoms have resolved.

Are there any factors that can influence the effectiveness of Trichomonas Vaginalis Treatment during menopause?

Menopause does not usually reduce the effectiveness of antibiotics used to treat trichomoniasis.

However, vaginal dryness and thinning caused by lower oestrogen levels can cause symptoms that persist after the infection has cleared. If symptoms continue, further assessment can determine whether they are due to menopause or another condition.

What happens if I have symptoms after finishing my Trichomonas Vaginalis Treatment treatment?

If your symptoms continue or return after treatment, you should be reassessed. This may be due to reinfection, treatment failure, or another condition causing similar symptoms.

If repeat PCR testing is required, it is generally recommended to wait at least 3 weeks after completing treatment to reduce the chance of detecting non-viable organisms.

Is Trichomonas Vaginalis Treatment failure possible? If so, what is the course of action?

Yes, although treatment failure is uncommon. Persistent infection may result from reinfection, not completing treatment, or, less commonly, antimicrobial resistance.

If symptoms persist, further assessment may include repeat testing and an alternative treatment regimen, such as a longer course of metronidazole or tinidazole, where appropriate.

Is a follow-up test/visit required after completing my Trichomonas Vaginalis Treatment treatment?

A routine test of cure is not usually required if your symptoms have resolved and there is no concern about reinfection. If symptoms persist or return, or reinfection is suspected, you should be reassessed. If repeat NAAT/PCR testing is needed, it should be performed at least 3 weeks after treatment.

Will my partner also need Trichomonas Vaginalis Treatment treatment?

Yes. Current sexual partner(s) should receive appropriate epidemiological treatment, even if they have no symptoms. Avoid sexual contact until you and your partner(s) have completed treatment and symptoms have resolved.
