Urology in Jongno 3-ga, Seoul, Korea

I sometimes experience sudden urges to urinate, like a strong need to see a doctor, so I visited because it was close to my office. Fortunately, after my consultation, I found out that there wasn't really anything to worry about. The doctor said it’s just an early stage of prostatitis, which can occur occasionally in older men! The doctor was a male, and I’d say he was a bit distant—he didn’t have a warm or friendly vibe. I think this might be due to the layout and environment of the clinic, which has a lot of small neighborhood hospitals together in one building, so there’s room for improvement in that aspect! I don’t know if it’s because this doctor is a specialist from Seoul National University, but the facility is relatively clean, especially near Dongmyo Intersection in Changsin-dong, Jongno District!

I initially went to an internal medicine clinic for overactive bladder symptoms, but since it seemed to be chronic, the internal medicine doctor recommended that I switch to urology. I've been regularly visiting this urology clinic near Dongmyo Station for several years now. The doctor is always kind, and when my symptoms improve, we stop the medication, but if the symptoms flare up again, I come back for regular prescriptions. As soon as I arrive, they do a urine flow test and check my current symptoms. I'm not really into self-treatment, so I always make sure to do the physical therapy available at the clinic. The biofeedback machine helps me get my Kegel exercises right. Then, I sit on the magnetic therapy device for about 10 minutes. It feels nice to have some stimulation on the bladder muscles!
