The National Chlamydia Screening Programme

17/11/2009

, PDS

The National Chlamydia Screening Programme (NCSP) has been developed in England which offers free opportunistic screening to sexually active men & women under the age of 25.
The prevalence of Chlamydia is highest in young sexually active adults, especially women aged 16 to 24 years and men aged 18 to 29 years. As most people are asymptomatic,large proportions of cases remain undiagnosed. Untreated genital Chlamydia infection may have serious long-term consequences especially in women, in whom it is a well established cause of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) ectopic pregnancy and infertility.
The goal of the programme is to control the disease through early detection and prevent onward transmission. According to the NCSP website approximately one in 14 people tested under the age of 25 have Chlamydia.

Do you suffer from Hayfever?

Hay fever is a type of allergic rhinitis caused by pollen or spores. Allergic rhinitis is a condition where an allergen (something that causes an allergic reaction) makes the inside of your nose inflamed (swollen).

Hay fever affects the nose, sinuses (small air-filled cavities behind your cheekbones and forehead), throat and eyes. It causes:

•sneezing,
•a runny nose, and
•itchy eyes.

Hay fever usually occurs in spring and summer, when there is more pollen in the air. Trees, grass and plants release pollen as part of their reproductive process. Mould and fungi also release tiny reproductive particles, called spores.

People with hay fever can experience their symptoms at different times of the year, depending on which pollens or spores they are allergic to.

At Simplicity Health we can offer you the
Fast Check Inhaled Allergy Test testing for 12 different airborne inhaled allergens or the Home Hayfever Allergy Test a simple home test for Hay Fever (non-specific)
