· Vasectomy: a routine procedure that prevents pregnancy by blocking sperms from entering the semen when ejaculating.
· Tubal ligation: a surgical procedure that ties the fallopian tubes of a woman.
· Birth control implants: devices that release hormones by going under the skin to prevent pregnancy.

Searching for an online consultation for vaginitis? You’ve come to the right place.
Learn more about the condition and find out how GetCareMD can help treat it:
What is Vaginitis?
The vagina, like other parts of the body (such as the mouth and gut), has a natural balance of bacteria that helps keep it healthy. When this balance is disrupted, it can lead to a condition called bacterial vaginitis (BV), which often causes itching, pain, and abnormal discharge.
There are the most commonly occurring types of BV:
- Bacterial vaginosis: Caused by an imbalance of healthy bacteria and overgrowth of harmful microorganisms
- Vaginal yeast infections: Caused by an overgrowth of the fungus Candida Albicans.
- Trichomoniasis:A parasitic infection that is typically transmitted through sexual intercourse.
You can obtain professional help by scheduling a vaginitis consultation online at GetCareMD.
Symptoms of Vaginitis
The typical symptoms of vaginitis include:
- Abnormal vaginal discharge (look for changes in quantity, color, or odor)
- Vaginal irritation or itching
- Pain or discomfort during sex and urination
- Vaginal bleeding or spotting
Different types of vaginitis can cause specific discharge symptoms:
- Bacterial vaginosis: it can cause a foul-smelling, grayish-white discharge. Its odor may be termed as ‘fishy’ and could be more noticeable after sexual intercourse.
- Yeast infection: also known as candidal vaginitis, it can be identified by persistent itching and the presence of a thick white discharge that resembles cottage cheese.
- Trichomoniasis: it causes a greenish-yellow discharge that may or may not be frothy.
If you’ve observed one of these discharges, you should set up an online consultation for vaginitis right away.
Causes of Vaginitis
There are different causes for different kinds of vaginitis:
- Bacterial vaginosis: it’s caused when the number of healthy vaginal bacteria (lactobacilli) is exceeded by the number of other bacteria (anaerobes).
- While there’s a link between bacterial vaginosis and sex — for women with multiple sex partners or a new sex partner — remember that one doesn’t have to be sexually active to get it.
- Yeast infections(candida vaginitis): they’re typically caused by Candida Albicans growing in uncontrolled quantities inside the vagina.
- Trichomoniasis: it’s a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a single-celled parasite called Trichomonas Vaginalis. This parasite enters your body during sexual intercourse with an infected person.

Need an online consultation for vaginal yeast infection? Trust GetCareMD to provide it.
Learn more about the condition and how we can help treat it:
A vaginal yeast infection is a very common fungal infection that can affect as many as 3 out of 4 women. The yeast (fungus) responsible for this is called Candida Albicans.
The infection occurs when hormonal changes, medication, or immune system issues allow the Candida Albicans to grow excessively.
Vaginal yeast infection is also known as
- Thrush
- Candidal vaginitis
- Vaginal candidiasis
- Vulvovaginal candidiasis
During a test for vaginal yeast infection, a small sample of your vaginal discharge is examined for the presence of fungal culture.

Men’s Conditions
Epididymitis in Men
The epididymis is a coiled tube found behind your testicles; it’s prone to infections and inflammation, which can be quite painful and have many long-and short-term effects. Almost always due to a bacterial infection, signs and symptoms generally include abdominal and scrotal pain and inflammation, pain with urination, and discharge from the urethra.
Testing prior to starting treatment is not necessary, however, we recommend that our patients opt for a test in case treatment is not effective. All of our consultations and treatments are kept fully confidential.
Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition where maintaining or achieving an erection sufficient for sexual activity becomes challenging. It can result from factors such as hormonal imbalances, mental health conditions like depression, substance use, medications, or chronic illnesses like diabetes. Addressing ED often involves treating these underlying causes, and our services are available exclusively for patients aged 25 and above.
Common Signs and Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction
Recognizing the signs of erectile dysfunction (ED) is the first step toward effective treatment. Common symptoms include difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection during sexual activity, reduced sexual desire, or inability to sustain firmness throughout intercourse. These symptoms may vary in severity and can often signal underlying health issues like cardiovascular problems, hormonal imbalances, or mental health concerns. Identifying these indicators early can help guide appropriate interventions and improve overall sexual health.
Premature Ejaculation
Premature ejaculation (PE) is a relatively common health condition that results in difficulty or inability to prevent or delay the release of semen during sexual intercourse. Typically, for it to be categorized as PE, the release of seminal fluid must be within one minute of sexual activity. Occasional PE is also common, and isn’t necessarily a cause for concern, but when chronic PE occurs, it requires professional medical treatment and intervention. As a condition it is easy to treat, so long as a patient is over the age of 25.
PE and erectile dysfunction (ED) tend to present simultaneously, making treatment for both necessary, especially in the use of prescription treatments as a recommended course of action. Visit our services page, select erectile dysfunction and get redirected to PE.
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) – Men
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a fairly common condition which occurs due to bacteria found in the urethra, making its way to the bladder. It’s often termed as a bladder infection or known as cystitis and tends to affect women more than men, but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible.
Urinary Tract Infection Treatment Consultation
However, we are unable to treat patients who have more serious, severe symptoms, such as fever, excruciating pain, vomiting, and other indications of a rapidly progressing infection. Patients with preexisting kidney problems or bladder conditions will require more specialized care and treatment or opt for urgent care clinics and hospitals.

Acute Gout
Are you looking for an online consultation for Gout? GetCareMD is here to help!
Learn all about the condition and how GetCareMD can help.
What is Gout?
Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis that can be excruciatingly painful. Excessively high uric acid levels begin to build up in your foot joints (particularly affecting your big toe). Gout attacks or flares are characterized by swelling, pain, tenderness, and inflammation in one or more joints of your foot.
Symptoms of Gout
Gout flares can begin suddenly and last a few days or even a few weeks. These symptoms can go into remission for a few days or even months. You might not see or feel any of the symptoms between these gout flares.
If you are suffering from acute Gout, you might experience symptoms like;
- Severe joint pain
- Limited joint mobility
- Lasting discomfort in the big toe or other affected joints in the body
- Intense inflammation and redness near the affected joints
- The affected joint feels excessively warm. Gout-affected joints can feel as if they are on fire.
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule an online consultation for Gout with our doctors at GetCareMD.
Am I at Risk for Gout?
Men are at a higher risk of developing Gout. However, most menopausal women can develop Gout as there’s an increase in uric acid levels in their bodies post-menopause.
You might be at risk of developing Gout if;
- You are overweight, and your body produces excessive levels of uric acid.
- You consume a diet that is rich in red meat and beverages that are laden with fruit, sugar, or fructose. Alcohol consumption can also increase your chances of developing Gout.
- In some people, surgery or even vaccination can trigger the onset of gout flares.
- Having a family history of developing Gout can also put you at risk for this condition.
- Medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart and kidney diseases, and metabolic syndromes can contribute to the development of Gout.
- Certain medications such as aspirin, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and hypertension controlling diuretics can increase uric acid levels and lead to gout flares.
If you suffer from any of these risk factors, schedule an online consultation for Gout with GetCareMD.
Complications
Gout is a highly treatable condition; however, it can lead to other medical complications if left untreated.
- Joint damage: Regular inflammation and swelling of the affected joints can lead to stiffness and damage in joints or cartilage.
- Tophi: When urate crystals begin to accumulate and harden under the skin. If left untreated, tophi can lead to intense pain and joint or cartilage deformity.
- Kidney stones: An excessive amount of urate crystals can build up in the kidney and lead to kidney stones.
- Kidney disease or Kidney failure: If Gout is left untreated and stones are allowed to build up in the kidney, it can lead to scarring and even kidney failure.
Cold & Flu
The flu (influenza) and the common cold are two very common viral respiratory infections. They share many symptoms, such as headaches, sore throats, lethargy, and coughing.

Coldsores
Cold sores (fever blisters or Herpes Simplex Labialis are some other names for them) refer to sets of small, painful blisters around the mouth caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus.

If you have cold sores, contact us, and we’ll recommend a treatment plan.
Constipation
Constipation refers to a situation in which a person finds it difficult to pass stool, experiences infrequent bowel movements, or has hard and dry stool. The typical causes are dietary changes and insufficient fiber intake. Periodic constipation is easily treated with OTC solutions, but chronic constipation requires more specific solutions.

Ear Infection
Ear infections refer to inflammation of the middle, inner, or outer ear that can lead to pain and discomfort. They also refer to fluid buildup in the middle ear – the area behind the eardrum. These can be chronic or acute, both of which are painful. The former can lead to permanent ear damage. If you’re experiencing any ear pain, schedule a consultation with us.
Eyelash Growth
Though most people are born with a healthy set of eyelashes, not everyone is satisfied with the length of their eyelashes. Fortunately, extensions aren’t the only remedy for their concerns. There are many serums that can encourage eyelash growth.
To get a prescription, contact us at GetCareMD.com.
Nausea & Vomiting
Nausea refers to the feeling of disgust that typically precedes vomiting. Both are symptoms of many kinds of infections. The primary concern with vomiting is dehydration; this can be prevented by controlling the urge to vomit through medication.
Vomiting can lead to a loss of important nutrients, so contact us to quickly treat it.
Pain Relief
Pain relief consultations typically begin with an attempt to narrow down the cause and kind of pain patients are experiencing. Pain comes in many forms, such as headaches, joint inflammation, menstrual cramps, fractures, and more. Treatment is tailored accordingly.

A tooth infection or tooth abscess is the buildup of bacteria and pus in and around the teeth. A tooth infection can affect teeth and gums and cause pain that radiates to the jaw, neck, and even the ear.
If left untreated, tooth infections can become severe and spread to the other parts of the body.
Symptoms of Tooth Infection
A tooth infection can be characterized by signs and symptoms such as;

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, get in touch with GetCareMD to schedule an online consultation for tooth infection.
Risk Factors for Tooth Infection
- Not practicing proper dental hygiene: Not brushing teeth twice a day and not flossing regularly can lead to toothaches, dental infections, and other dental complications.

- Excessive consumption of sugar-rich foods and beverages: A sugar-rich diet can lead to dental cavities, which might transform into a tooth infection.
If you are at risk of developing tooth infection, book an online consultation for tooth infection at GetCareMD.
Complications Associated With Tooth Infection
A tooth infection requires proper dental treatment. If the tooth abscess ruptures, it might relieve pressure and pain but should not be left untreated. The tooth infection can spread to your jaw and the neck region and cause further complications.
Moreover, an untreated tooth abscess can lead to sepsis, an acute infection that can spread throughout the body.
Upper Respiratory Infection
Upper respiratory infections (URI) are infections that take place in the upper respiratory tract. Patients with URI experience multiple symptoms, such as chest congestion, sneezing, runny nose, dry or wet coughing, fever, and more.

Travel Health
Malaria Prevention
Malaria is a life-threatening illness that’s contracted via a mosquito bite from a mosquito carrying the plasmodium parasite.

If you’re planning to travel, schedule a consultation with us to make sure you remain healthy throughout.
Motion Sickness & Vertigo
Motion sickness refers to disturbances in the inner ear due to repeated motion (such as in a vehicle).

Acne Solutions
Acne happens when hair follicles get clogged with dead skin cells, leading to pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. While acne is usually harmless, it can be painful, especially with deeper breakouts.

GetCareMD offers online consultations for acne starting at just $39. After answering a few simple questions, you’ll connect with a healthcare consultant who will recommend effective treatments for your acne.
Dandruff
Dandruff refers to a condition where white scales of dead skin are shed from the scalp (these shed scales are also known as dandruff).
