Your First Gynecologist Visit in Seoul, Korea: What to Expect

On arrival, register at reception with your ID and fill in a short form. You then talk with the doctor, change into a gown or skirt wrap if an exam is needed, and sit in a reclining exam chair. Ultrasound is often part of the visit. Afterward you pay at reception and collect any prescription.

Step by step

  1. Reception: show your passport or ARC, fill in the questionnaire (last period date, pregnancies, sexual experience, medicines, allergies)
  2. Consultation: explain your concerns; ask anything
  3. Exam: you change in a private area; a reclining gynecology chair is used (see what is different in Korea)
  4. Ultrasound: usually transvaginal; tell us if you have never had sex (more)
  5. Tests: swabs or blood as needed
  6. Payment and prescription: pay at reception; fill prescriptions at a nearby pharmacy

Tips

  • Arrive 10 minutes early
  • Avoid sex and vaginal products for about a day before swab tests
  • Write down your last period date
  • Learn a few useful Korean phrases
