  • Arousal, an erection or becoming wet, followed by an orgasm or no orgasm.
  • Temporary sensitivity, redness or mild swelling after a lot of friction.
  • Use clean hands and, if needed, a body-safe lubricant to reduce friction.
  • Only use undamaged sex toys according to their instructions, and choose a wide flared base for anal use.
  • Make an appointment for persistent pain, sores, swelling, discharge or reduced sensation.
  • For urgent GP care outside normal opening hours, call HAP 9252. Call Ambulance 912 only for an immediately life-threatening situation.

Iron overloadIron overload means too much iron is stored in the body. It may be hereditary, as in HFE haemochromatosis, or secondary to repeated blood transfusions, certain blood disorders or liver disease. Early symptoms are often vague, such as tiredness, joint problems or abdominal pain. High ferritin alone does not prove iron overload; transferrin saturation, medical history and sometimes genetic testing or imaging help identify the cause. Treatment is medical, usually involving professionally performed venesection when appropriate.
