  • Discreet STD Testing

    Discreet STD Testing Reserve Your Time Did you know that adults are supposed to get tested for STDs every year, or even more often depending on their sexual activity? You may think it’s easier to ignore your sexual health, due to the stigmas around it, but maintaining your sexual health is vital to your overall health as well. At Local MD Urgent Care, we understand your hesitation surrounding STD testing and have worked to make these visits as discreet, judgement-free, and stress-free as possible! We are fully equipped to handle testing for many STDs, including HIV, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis, syphilis, and other venereal diseases (VD). Reserve Your Time What’s the difference between STDs and STIs? The first difference between STDs and STIs is in the name. STD stands for sexually transmitted disease, whereas STI means sexually transmitted infection. Essentially, the difference is between a disease and an infection. Not all diseases begin with infections, but many do. Sexually transmitted disease first begin as sexually transmitted infections. Infection occurs with the sexually transmitted bacteria or virus first enters the body and begins multiplying. Once the sexually transmitted bacteria or viruses have entered the body, the infection may progress into a disease. Disease occurs when this foreign presence officially disrupts the body’s normal functions and processes. How do I know if I have a STD? There is no way to know for sure without being tested. Many STDs don’t have obvious symptoms. Being sexually active can include vaginal intercourse, anal and/or oral sex. When doctors or nurses ask this question, they are really asking if you've done anything since your last check up that might have exposed you to an STD or pregnancy. STD tests should be part of your regular check-up. But, if you have any concerns at all that you may have been exposed to an STD, see a doctor and ask to be tested. What are the symptoms of STDs? Many STDs may have no symptoms at all or the signs are so mild that you may not notice, which is why getting tested at least once a year is a great idea. However, if you have any of the symptoms described below, you should seek care right away because they may be signs that you have an STD. None Discharge or unusual fluid that may be white or yellow that comes out of the vagina or penis (not semen). An unexplained rash A burning sensation when urinating (peeing), going to the bathroom. Bumps, sores, blisters, or warts on the genital area - in women this includes the outer and inner lips, vagina and clitoris. In men this includes the penis and testicles. Should I get tested for a STD? Anyone who has had vaginal, anal or oral sex with a new partner should be tested. Everyone who is sexually active should be tested during regular check-ups. Pregnant women should also be tested.

  • Ear Irrigation | Local MD Urgent Care

    Ear Irrigation / Ear Wax Removal Find A Location Ear congestion is described as pressure, muffled hearing, or fullness that is often compared to being in flight or submerged under water. Pressure in your ears can be caused by a variety of factors, like a cold or flu, allergies, a sinus infection, air travel, or wax buildup. Buildup of earwax can impair ear structures and negatively affect your hearing. Attempting to remove foreign objects or earwax with small items, such as Q-Tips, can push it deeper into the ear and potentially cause serious damage. Local MD Urgent Care can help clean out your ears and protect the sensitive structures with ear irrigation. Schedule Now Ear Irrigation Procedure Before one of our medical professionals performs an ear irrigation, they will want to look inside your ear to ensure that your symptoms are the result of excess wax buildup or foreign materials and not something more serious. They may diagnose excess earwax by inserting an instrument called an otoscope into the opening of your ear. The otoscope shines a light into your ear and magnifies the image. If wax buildup is the issue, your doctor will perform the irrigation in an exam room using a syringe-like tool. This tool will be used to insert water or a water and saline mixture into the ear to flush out the wax. You may feel slight discomfort from the water in your ear or from holding your ear in place. Ear Irrigation Risks Do not undergo ear irrigation (either at home or at a doctor’s office) if you have a damaged eardrum, tubes in your ears, or a condition that weakens your immune system. You also should not get ear irrigation if you have an active infection in your ear canal. While ear irrigation is a relatively common procedure, there are risks associated with it that you should discuss with your doctor prior to irrigation.

  • Sprain? Strain? Which is it? | Local MD

    Sprains & Strains Reserve Your Time At our urgent care center, we provide expert treatment for sprains and strains to help you recover quickly and resume your daily activities. Our skilled medical team will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the extent of your injury and develop a personalized treatment plan. Whether it's applying braces or compression wraps, providing pain relief, or offering rehabilitation exercises, we are here to support your recovery and get you back on your feet. Trust our urgent care center for compassionate and effective care to treat your sprains and strains. Reserve Your Time Sprains vs. Strains: The Difference Explained Sprains are injuries to ligaments, which are tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect bones to each other in a joint. These injuries occur when a ligament is stretched or torn beyond its normal range of motion. Sprains are commonly seen in joints such as the ankles, knees, wrists, and fingers. The severity of a sprain is graded based on the extent of ligament damage: Grade 1 Sprain: Mild stretching and microscopic tearing of the ligament. Grade 2 Sprain: Partial tearing of the ligament. Grade 3 Sprain: Complete tearing or rupture of the ligament. Strains, on the other hand, are injuries to muscles or tendons. Tendons are tough cords of fibrous tissue that attach muscles to bones. Strains occur when a muscle or tendon is overstretched or torn during forceful or sudden movements. They most commonly affect the muscles in the back, hamstrings, and quadriceps. Like sprains, strains are also graded based on their severity: Grade 1 Strain: Mild stretching and microscopic tearing of muscle fibers or tendons. Grade 2 Strain: Partial tearing of muscle fibers or tendons. Grade 3 Strain: Complete tearing or rupture of muscle fibers or tendons. Differences from Fractures (Breaks) While sprains and strains involve soft tissue injuries, fractures, commonly referred to as breaks, are injuries to bones. Fractures occur when a bone is subjected to excessive force, causing it to crack or break. The key differences are: Affected Structure: Sprains and strains affect ligaments, muscles, and tendons, whereas fractures involve the bones. Treatment: While sprains and strains are generally treated with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) along with rehabilitation exercises, fractures may require immobilization with casts or splints, or in severe cases, surgical intervention. Aftercare and Recovery Proper aftercare is crucial for a full and successful recovery from sprains and strains. Follow these guidelines to facilitate healing and prevent reinjury: Follow Medical Instructions: Adhere to the treatment plan and follow any specific instructions given by your healthcare provider. Rest: Allow sufficient time for rest and avoid putting undue strain on the injured area. Gradual Return to Activity: As your injury heals, gradually reintroduce physical activity, sports, or exercise under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Use Supportive Aids: If recommended, use braces, wraps, or crutches to provide support during the healing process. Heat Therapy: After the initial 48 hours, consider using heat therapy to promote blood flow and aid in healing. Avoiding Heat and Alcohol: During the initial healing phase, avoid hot baths or alcohol consumption, as they can increase swelling and hinder healing. Rehabilitation Exercises: Engage in rehabilitation exercises as prescribed by your healthcare provider to improve strength and flexibility. Patience and Persistence: Be patient with your recovery and be persistent in following your rehabilitation plan. Healing can take time, and pushing too hard too soon can lead to setbacks. Preventing Sprains and Strains Preventing sprains and strains involves taking proactive measures to minimize the risk of injury. Follow these tips to reduce the likelihood of experiencing these injuries: Warm-Up and Stretching: Always warm up before engaging in physical activity and perform appropriate stretching exercises to prepare your muscles and joints. Proper Technique: Use proper body mechanics and technique when lifting heavy objects or engaging in sports or physical activities. Strengthening Exercises: Regularly perform exercises that focus on strengthening the muscles around your joints to improve stability and reduce the risk of injury. Avoid Overexertion: Listen to your body and avoid pushing yourself beyond your limits, especially during intense physical activities. Use Protective Gear: Wear appropriate protective gear, such as helmets, knee pads, or braces, during sports and recreational activities. Footwear: Wear properly fitting, supportive footwear that is appropriate for the activity you are engaging in. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Proper nutrition, hydration, and maintaining a healthy weight can contribute to better overall musculoskeletal health. Mind Your Environment: Be aware of your surroundings and potential hazards that could lead to slips, trips, or falls. Sprains and strains are common injuries that affect ligaments, muscles, and tendons. While they share similarities, they differ from fractures or breaks, which involve bones. Prompt and appropriate treatment, followed by careful aftercare and rehabilitation, are crucial for a successful recovery. Equally important is prevention, which can be achieved through warm-ups, proper technique, strengthening exercises, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If you experience a sprain or strain, or if you have concerns about preventing these injuries, don't hesitate to seek care and guidance from our experienced medical team at our urgent care center. We are here to support your musculoskeletal health and help you stay active and injury-free.
