When we think about health, we often focus on fitness, diet, or managing chronic conditions—but sexual health is just as important. It’s about more than avoiding infections; it includes emotional well-being, respectful relationships, and the freedom to make informed choices about your body. And yet, many people still hesitate to seek help when concerns arise.

At Platinum Medical Centre in Singapore, we offer a discreet, respectful environment where you can speak openly about your sexual health without judgment. Whether you have symptoms, need testing, or simply want to learn more about prevention and protection, our goal is to support your well-being in a comprehensive, compassionate way.

What Is Sexual Health?

Sexual health is defined by the World Health Organization as a state of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being related to sexuality. It requires a positive and respectful approach to sexual relationships, the ability to have pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, and the freedom from coercion, discrimination, and violence.

In clinical terms, sexual health often covers:

• Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and screenings
• Contraception and family planning
• Fertility concerns and reproductive health
• Prevention and management of HIV
• Erectile dysfunction, low libido, or vaginal discomfort
• Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination
• Sexual health education and counselling

The Importance of STI Screening

Sexually transmitted infections are more common than many people realise—and they don’t always show obvious symptoms. Conditions like chlamydia, gonorrhoea, herpes, syphilis, and HPV can go unnoticed for months or even years if left unchecked, increasing the risk of complications or transmission to partners.

Routine STI screening is especially important if you:

• Have had unprotected sex
• Have a new partner or multiple partners
• Are planning a pregnancy
• Experience unusual symptoms like discharge, pain, or irritation
• Simply want peace of mind

At Platinum Medical Centre, we offer private, confidential STI testing with same-day or prompt results. Our doctors will talk you through everything clearly, without judgment or assumptions.

Contraception and Reproductive Health

Everyone deserves access to safe, effective contraceptive options. Whether you're considering birth control pills, condoms, intrauterine devices (IUDs), or hormonal implants, our team can help you choose the method that best suits your body, lifestyle, and goals.

If you're planning for a family or struggling to conceive, we also provide fertility evaluations and preconception counselling, giving you clarity and control over your reproductive choices.

Sexual Health at Different Life Stages

Sexual health needs change over time. Young adults may need guidance around safe sex and contraception, while older adults might face challenges with libido, function, or the effects of menopause or prostate health.

Open conversations around topics like vaginal dryness, erectile dysfunction, or painful intercourse are not always easy—but they are important. These issues are more common than you think, and they are often manageable with the right medical support.

We believe in breaking down stigma and offering every patient the time and respect they need to feel heard and supported.
