Sexual Health
Herpes, in proportion
The virus is extremely common, the medical consequences are modest, and the distress is almost entirely social.
Sexual Health
Recurrent thrush and bacterial vaginosis
They are different conditions treated differently, and self-diagnosis gets it wrong about half the time.
Hormones
Thyroid problems, and why they are missed
The symptoms overlap with ordinary life, the tests are straightforward, and the treatment questions are more nuanced than they look.
Stress & Mood

Behaviour changes before feeling does, which is the opposite of how people expect recovery to work.
Intimacy & Desire

It is common, it is frequently an early cardiovascular signal, and it is one of the most treatable things in medicine.
Sexual Health

It is common, it has identifiable causes, and pushing through it reliably makes it worse.
Stress & Mood
