questions

• Which department should I see for abnormal vaginal discharge?
  Obstetrics & Gynecology(산부인과) is generally the first department to see for abnormal vaginal discharge, as it specializes in the female reproductive system. If an underlying systemic or skin condition is suspected, a doctor may refer you to Dermatology(피부과) or Internal Medicine(내과), but starting with Obstetrics & Gynecology is the common first step.
• Which department should I see for irregular periods?
  Obstetrics & Gynecology(산부인과) is generally the first department to see for irregular periods, as gynecologists specialize in menstrual cycle disorders and their underlying causes. In some cases, if a hormonal gland issue such as thyroid or pituitary dysfunction is suspected, your gynecologist may refer you to Internal Medicine — Endocrinology(내과·내분비내과) for further evaluation.
• Which department should I see for prenatal checkups?
