Sexual Health

It is important women use extra precautions (condoms) to avoid sexually transmitted infections. Infections can be passed from one person to another through unprotected intercourse or close contact with the genital area.

Some women may experience symptoms which may include pain when passing urine or pain during sexual intercourse, an unusual discharge, a rash or painful sores around the genital area.

It is important to note some STI’s have no symptoms. Most STI’s are easy to treat so if you have any worries you can make an appointment with the nurse or doctor and attend for a check-up.

The Locala clinic is also a good place to access for full screening of all sexually transmitted infections. They are also able to provide you with treatment. Smear tests and contraception are also available at the clinic. Visit https://www.locala.org.uk/ for more information.

NHS Guidance

Important Information for Patients taking Mounjaro Privately and also taking Contraceptive Medication

• Mounjaro slows gastric emptying, which can interfere with how well the body absorbs oral birth control pills, potentially making them less effective.
• Since Mounjaro affects oral contraceptives, using barrier methods such as condoms, diaphragms, or cervical caps can help prevent unintended pregnancy.
• Contraceptive patches, injections, intrauterine systems (IUS) and implants remain effective because they do not rely on digestion for absorption.
• Healthcare professionals advise stopping Mounjaro at least one month before trying to conceive, and it is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• If you are using birth control and considering Mounjaro, it’s important to speak with your doctor.
