questions

• Which department should I see for blood in the urine?
  Urology(비뇨의학과) is generally the first specialty to evaluate blood in the urine, as urologists manage conditions affecting the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Depending on findings, care may extend to Nephrology(신장내과) if a kidney-related internal medicine issue is suspected, or to other specialties based on what a doctor determines.
• Which department should I see for frequent urination?
  Urology(비뇨의학과) is generally the first department to consider for frequent urination, as it specializes in the urinary tract and bladder. Depending on your overall health history, you may also be referred to Internal Medicine(내과) — for example, if diabetes or kidney-related causes are suspected.
• Which department should I see for a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying?
  Urology(비뇨의학과) is generally the first specialty to evaluate a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying (잔뇨감). Depending on the suspected cause — such as hormonal or gynecological factors in women — a referral to Obstetrics and Gynecology(산부인과) or Internal Medicine(내과) may follow after initial assessment.
• Which department should I see for waking at night to urinate?
  Urology(비뇨의학과) is generally the first department to evaluate nocturia — waking at night one or more times to urinate. Depending on the underlying cause, you may also be referred to Internal Medicine(내과) for conditions such as diabetes or heart-related fluid retention, or to Obstetrics & Gynecology(산부인과) if you are a woman with pelvic-floor concerns.
• Which department should I see for painful or burning urination?
  Urology(비뇨의학과) is generally the first department that handles painful or burning urination, as this symptom is most commonly related to the urinary tract. Depending on the underlying cause, women may also be referred to Obstetrics and Gynecology(산부인과), and if a systemic or infectious cause is suspected, Internal Medicine(내과) may be involved.
• Which department should I see for sudden severe flank pain?
  Urology(비뇨의학과) is generally the first department to evaluate sudden severe flank pain, as one of the most common causes is a urinary tract stone. Depending on what is found, you may be referred to Internal Medicine(내과) or Surgery(외과) if another underlying cause is suspected.
