A new survey commissioned by leading vascular clinic, The Whiteley Clinic, has revealed the UK's most 'embarrassing' health concerns, along with the key reasons why people put off going to see a doctor about said conditions.

Testimonials from The Whiteley Clinic patients





"Many thanks to Dr Whiteley and his staff. I had a serious problem of hyperhydrosis/bromhydrosis on my armpits.

In November 2014 I had the keyhole surgery and since that day I have never had sweating from underarm. Now, I work in Japan, where this thing is considered worse than the plague, I can stand between other people without troubles.

I’m a medical doctor too and as a M.D. I recommend Dr Whiteley to whoever has hyperhydrosis/bromhydrosis"
