If you're noticing rectal discomfort, pain, bleeding, or an unusual discharge, it might feel worrying or even embarrassing to seek help. At Mayfield Clinic, we believe everyone deserves straightforward, confidential support—especially when it comes to sexual health.
While several conditions can cause rectal discomfort, one less-talked-about but important possibility is lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV). LGV is a type of chlamydia infection that can affect anyone, but is often reported among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the UK. Symptoms can include:
It's important to note that many cases of LGV cause no symptoms at all, making regular screening essential for sexually active individuals.
The science is simple: LGV is caused by unique strains of the chlamydia bacterium. Our at-home LGV rectal swab test kit uses the reliable Aptima® multisite swab from TDL Tiny to collect a sample from the rectum. You simply follow the provided instructions, send your swab to our UK partner lab, and receive confidential results within 1-2 weeks.
If you're in the UK and want discreet results, our home LGV testing kit delivers peace of mind. Prefer to see someone in person? Book an appointment or order your at-home kit today. Take control of your sexual health—on your terms.
