Your DSC Doctor
Our doctor will ask your medical history and conduct a thorough
examination. Throughout your consultation, you are encouraged
to discuss your condition with your doctor and ask any questions
about your health.
Male patients will usually see a male nurse practitioner
before they see the doctor. He is
trained to assess your condition and may order certain laboratory
tests.
Investigations
After examining you, your doctor will decide on other laboratory
tests or procedures you might need.
Diagnosis
After your examination and diagnostic laboratory tests,
your doctor will discuss his/her
findings with you and explain any treatment that may be
needed.
If you were referred by another doctor, a report of our
findings will sent to him/her.
Counselling and Contact Tracing
At the DSC Clinic, we have a group of dedicated health advisors
who will provide you with detailed information about your
condition, clarify any doubts you have about your treatment
and assist you in adopting a lifestyle that will reduce
your chance of getting a STI.
Our health advisors will also seek your assistance in referring
your partner to our clinic for STI screening. This is in
line with our aim to control the spread of STIs in Singapore
and to provide prompt treatment for your partner if he or
she is infected.
Early detection and treatment of an infection can significantly
prevent complications for both you and your partner.
Hospitalisation
If you need to be hospitalised, arrangements may be made
for admitting you to the Communicable Disease Centre at
Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
Your DSC doctor will continue to see and treat you during
your stay in the hospital.
Hospital charges incurred during your inpatient stay should
be settled directly between you and the hospital. Payment
details should be discussed at the time of admission.
