STD Symptoms Assessed By A Doctor In Malta

Sometimes, and often not. Several infections look identical, and some cause no symptoms at all, so most of them can only be confirmed with a laboratory sample. What the consultation reliably does is tell you what your symptoms suggest, which tests you actually need, and whether anything can be treated straight away. If the honest answer is that you need a test first, you will be told that plainly rather than sold a prescription.

If a test is needed, your doctor will tell you exactly which one and where to have it done in Malta or Gozo. They will also tell you when to do it, because a test taken too soon after a possible exposure can come back negative while an infection is still developing. That timing is different for different infections, and getting it right is the difference between a real answer and a false reassurance.

Nothing is sent to your GP, your insurer or anyone else unless you ask us to send it. Your consultation is a private medical record held by Carisma Medical inside the EU. If you would like a summary sent to your own doctor, we will do that, and only then.

No. A doctor who prescribes for you has to know who you are, and a prescription has to carry your real name to be valid at a Maltese pharmacy. What we can promise is that your name goes no further than your medical record. There is no reception, no counter and nobody in a waiting room.

If the doctor prescribes, your private digital prescription is emailed to you as soon as the doctor issues it, usually straight after the call. It also sits in your patient portal. Collect at any pharmacy in Malta or Gozo. You pay the pharmacy directly, at its own price. We never sell or ship medicine. You choose which pharmacy, including one nowhere near where you live or work.

If something is confirmed, telling recent partners matters, because someone can carry an infection without symptoms and pass it back. Your doctor will go through who needs to know and how far back to go, and there are ways to do it that do not start with your name. It is a conversation people dread far more than it deserves, and doing it is the thing that stops the cycle.

Yes, and it is one of the more useful reasons to book. Plenty of infections are silent, so having no symptoms is not evidence of anything either way. A doctor can work out from what actually happened whether testing is warranted, which tests, and when, which is a far better use of twenty minutes than reading about it online.

It is €59 for one 20-minute consultation, paid when you book. The online pre-assessment before it is free. One consultation at a time. Book again when you need to, with no plan running quietly in the background. The doctor gives you their time and their answer either way, so if the outcome is that you need to be seen in person or tested first, that is the answer you have paid for and you will leave with a specific next step rather than a refund. If the doctor prescribes, the medicine is a separate purchase. Collect at any pharmacy in Malta or Gozo. You pay the pharmacy directly, at its own price. We never sell or ship medicine.

If you are acutely unwell, feverish, in severe pain, or have testicular pain or swelling, do not wait for an appointment. That needs to be seen in person today, and if you are unwell now, call 112. Carisma Medical is not for emergencies. We also cannot treat anyone under 18, and if you are pregnant and have symptoms your maternity care comes first.
