Private PMOS consultation in London

Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world and one of the most undertreated causes of exhaustion in London, and the numbers that define it are worth knowing.

Most sexually transmitted infections cause no symptoms at all, which is the single most important fact in sexual health. Around seven in ten women and half of men with chlamydia notice nothing, gonorrhoea and syphilis, both at some of the highest levels England has recorded in decades, frequently announce themselves only through the damage they leave, and HIV caught early is a managed condition with normal life expectancy while HIV caught late is not.

Tiredness is the commonest symptom brought to doctors, and the system built to investigate it gives it ten minutes. The honest medicine is that persistent fatigue has a checklist, and most of it is found in blood. Iron deficiency, the most common nutritional deficiency in the world, drains energy long before it becomes anaemia, with ferritin below 30 marking depleted stores and symptoms frequently present below 50, especially in menstruating women.

Around 20 percent of men over 50 may have symptomatic low testosterone, yet only around 1 percent are diagnosed and treated, and the gap has been filled by a subscription TRT industry that too often runs the process backwards, marketing first, finger-prick kit second, prescription by post third.

The average NHS menopause consultation is ten minutes long, three quarters of clinicians report no regular menopause training, and specialist NHS clinics carry waits measured in months, which is why so many women now manage the most disruptive hormonal transition of their lives privately.

Seborrhoeic keratoses are the commonest skin growths of adult life, the raised, waxy, warty-looking lesions that appear from the forties onward and multiply with age, often described as looking stuck on to the skin. They are completely benign, they are not caused by sun damage alone or by anything you did wrong, they can be tan, brown, grey or black, and by the sixties most people have at least one and many have dozens.

Two facts should shape every decision about mole removal. First, most moles are entirely harmless collections of pigment cells, and removing one for cosmetic or practical reasons, catching on clothing, razors, jewellery, is a short procedure under local anaesthetic with excellent results when the technique is matched to the mole.

Warts and verrucas are caused by the human papillomavirus infecting the top layer of skin, they are contagious, and while around two thirds clear on their own within two years in children, in adults they persist far longer and often spread while you wait.

Courts refuse most medical adjournment applications for the same reason, the evidence does not meet the legal standard, and the standard has been settled since Levy v Ellis-Carr [2012] EWHC 63 (Ch).

Whether someone is disabled under the Equality Act 2010 is a legal question decided on medical evidence, and in employment tribunals it is frequently the whole ballgame, because if disability status fails, every discrimination claim built on it fails with it.

Ill health retirement is decided on paper, and most refusals are evidence failures rather than health failures. Every major UK scheme applies some version of the same demanding test, permanent incapacity for work until normal pension age, and the scheme's own medical adviser decides it from the documents alone, without ever meeting the applicant.
