Which care do you need right now?

· If you are pregnant, get a prenatal checkup. It is the most basic screening for a healthy delivery.

· If a couple has had intercourse without contraception for a year and still hasn't conceived, check the cause with an infertility test.

· If you notice discharge with an odor or itching, it may be vaginitis, so please see a doctor. If left untreated, it can lead to conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease or endometritis.

· If a woman under 40 has no period for four to six months or longer, she needs a diagnosis through hormone testing.

· If you are a woman aged 20 or older, check whether you are eligible for the NHIS cervical cancer screening. It is free only for those who qualify under the National Health Insurance Service screening program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. If I have an appointment, will I be seen right away?

Depending on the day's schedule, there may be some waiting time even with an appointment. If you have questions, please call before your visit.

Q. Are you open on weekday evenings or Saturdays?

We are open on Thursdays from 11:00 to 19:00 and on Saturdays from 09:30 to 15:00. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday hours are 09:30 to 18:00. We are closed on Sundays and public holidays. Lunch break is from 13:00 to 14:00.

Q. Should I get tested for STIs even if I have no symptoms?

Yes, testing is recommended. Most women with an STI have no symptoms, so they often pass it to their partner without knowing. If an infection is found, any sexual partners also need testing and treatment.

Q. Is there a 100% effective contraceptive method?

No contraceptive method is 100% perfect. Convenience and failure rates differ by method and type, so it is best to choose one after consulting with a doctor.
