Venereal diseases (sexually transmitted diseases)
If you suspect you have a venereal disease, contact via the Omaolo service. Via the Omaolo service you can fill out a comprehensive symptom checker, which makes processing your case quicker.
You can also send a message via DigiSoite’s My Healthcare service, or you can contact a nurse at your health care station via Soite’s chat or by phone. Students can also contact student health care.
In Lestijokilaakso and Perhonjokilaakso, testing and treatments of venereal diseases can also be carried out at a maternity, child health and birth control clinic. Contact via the centralized phone service for maternity, child health and birth control clinics.
Treatment is started based on the symptoms and the results that have been received about samples. Treatment is free of charge for everyone.
The only way to protect oneself from venereal diseases is to always use a condom during the entire intercourse.
A message to an infectious diseases nurse via the My Healthcare service
You can contact an infectious diseases nurse digitally by sending a message via DigiSoite’s My Healthcare service. You can contact an infectious diseases nurse by sending a message via the My Healthcare service if you have questions about STDs or if you wish to request taking a sample. Screening for STDs is the responsible way to act, especially when changing partners, and we encourage you to contact us and to seek out testing even if you haven’t got any symptoms.
Identification in the My Healthcare service is done via the Suomi.fi online service. To identify yourself, you need online banking codes or a mobile certificate.
An epidemic transmitted through foodstuffs and water
An epidemic transmitted through foodstuffs and water refers to illnesses that occur at a given time and in a particular area and have a common source of food or water exposure.
If you suspect that food or water intended for human consumption has caused your illness, you can contact your own health centre nurse or doctor, a physician in charge of infectious diseases, an infectious diseases nurse or head of health surveillance (in Finnish “terveysvalvonnan johtaja”) at the unit of environmental health services in Central Ostrobothnia.
Outside of office hours, please contact the joint emergency services.
