Cardiovascular disease

Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the UK, caused by the gradual build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries that supply the heart.

Cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is almost entirely caused by persistent infection with high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) and is highly preventable through vaccination and screening.

Chickenpox

Chickenpox is a highly infectious illness caused by the varicella-zoster virus, usually mild in children but potentially more serious in adults and immunocompromised individuals.

Chlamydia

Chlamydia is the most commonly diagnosed STI in the UK and often causes no symptoms, making routine testing essential for sexually active individuals.

High cholesterol

High cholesterol is a common condition with no symptoms, where excess cholesterol in the blood increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.

HIV

HIV attacks the immune system and, without treatment, can progress to AIDS, though modern antiretroviral therapy enables a near-normal life expectancy.

Hypercalcaemia

Hypercalcaemia occurs when calcium levels in the blood are higher than normal, often due to overactive parathyroid glands or, less commonly, underlying malignancy.

Melanoma skin cancer

Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer, strongly linked to UV exposure, and is highly treatable when detected early.

Menopause

Menopause is a natural decline in oestrogen production that marks the end of menstrual periods, typically occurring around the age of 51 in the UK.

Multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma is a blood cancer of the plasma cells in the bone marrow, which can affect bones, the immune system and kidney function.

Mumps

Mumps is a viral infection causing painful swelling of the salivary glands, preventable through the MMR vaccine.

Mycoplasma genitalium

Mycoplasma genitalium is an increasingly recognised sexually transmitted bacterium that can cause urethritis, cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease.

Neutropenia

Neutropenia is a low level of neutrophils in the blood, which can increase vulnerability to bacterial and fungal infections.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis weakens bones over time, increasing the risk of fractures, and is often undiagnosed until a break occurs.

Ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer can be difficult to detect early because its symptoms are often subtle and easily attributed to other conditions.

Overactive thyroid

An overactive thyroid produces too much thyroid hormone, accelerating the body's metabolism and causing symptoms such as weight loss, rapid heartbeat and anxiety.

Pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed at a later stage because early symptoms tend to be vague, making awareness of risk factors particularly important.

Pancreatitis

Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, most commonly caused by gallstones or heavy alcohol consumption, and can range from mild to life-threatening.
