Sexual and reproductive health counseling
Seeking professional help for one’s emotional wellbeing often carries a lot of stigma with it. Moreover, when the concerns are related to sexuality and intimacy, the possibility of speaking to someone reduces even further.
We provide a safe and non-judgmental space for young people to talk about their concerns related to sexuality. The concerns could be anything - from relationships, safe sex methods, child sexual abuse, intimate partner abuse, self-image, gender identity, sexual orientation, loneliness, break ups, depression, anxiety, self-harm; feeling suicidal to whatever is troubling them in their lives. We have a team of sensitive and trained counsellors to deal with these issues. We call them NESTOR (a sensitive listener, who can listen, help the person reflect on potential solutions and in some situations, if required, provide linkages to other services)

Cervical Cancer Screening and Prevention Services
Description
Cervical cancer is a preventable cancer. We have 2 powerful tools to prevent cervical cancer and they are HPV vaccination of adolescent girls and cervical cancer screening of adult women. Cervical cancer is caused by long-term infection with Human papillomavirus (HPV). About 70 per cent of all women get infected with HPV at least once during their lifetime. However, the majority of them clear this infection by the natural immune mechanism of the body. If it is not cleared, persistent infection can cause abnormalities in the cells of the cervix. If these abnormalities are detected and treated, cervical cancer can be prevented.
There are no symptoms if there is infection with HPV or if there are abnormal cells in the cervix. But these abnormalities can be detected if women get screened and then examined appropriately. It is recommended that all women above the age of thirty get screened for cervical cancer regularly.
HPV vaccines are now widely available that prevent infection of some high-risk types of HPV and are highly effective when given to adolescent girls before they start their sexual activity.
HPV vaccination, HPV testing, colposcopy, biopsy, treatment using thermal ablation and Lower Loop Excision of Transformation Zone (LLETZ) are offered at the clinic.
Timings: 10 am to 4 pm - Monday and Friday
