questions

• Which department should I see for dizziness and balance problems?
  Neurology(신경과) is generally the first department recommended for dizziness combined with balance problems, as these symptoms often point to issues in the nervous system or inner ear pathways. Depending on the suspected cause, you may also be referred to Otolaryngology(이비인후과) if an inner-ear origin is likely, or to Neurosurgery(신경외과) if a structural brain issue is found. Starting at a local clinic (의원) in either Neurology or Internal Medicine(내과) is a common first step before a referral is issued.
• Which department should I see for frequent headaches?
  Neurology(신경과) is generally the first department to consider for frequent or recurring headaches, as neurologists specialize in diagnosing and managing conditions affecting the brain and nervous system. If your headaches appear to be related to stress, lifestyle, or a general health issue, an Internal Medicine(내과) clinic can also serve as a good starting point. Depending on the findings, you may be referred to another specialist for further evaluation.
• Which department should I see for numb hands and feet?
  Neurology(신경과) is generally the first department to see for numbness and reduced sensation in the hands and feet, as these symptoms often relate to nerve function. Depending on the suspected cause, you may also be referred to Internal Medicine(내과) or Orthopedics(정형외과) for further evaluation.
