What is a contraception consultation?
A contraception consultation is a visit to choose, start, change or stop a birth control method. The doctor reviews your health, explains how each method works, and helps you compare them. The clinic's contraception clinic covers pills, hormonal IUDs and emergency contraception.
Who is it for?
- People starting contraception for the first time
- People who moved to Korea and need to continue or change a method
- People with side effects from their current method
- People planning a pregnancy in the future who want a reversible method
- People with health conditions that affect which methods are safe
Which methods can I discuss at the clinic?
| Method | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Birth control pills | Daily | Many combined pills are sold over the counter in Korea |
| Mirena IUD | Long-acting | Hormonal; also used for heavy periods |
| Kyleena IUD | Long-acting | Smaller hormonal IUD, lower dose |
| Emergency contraception | After unprotected sex | Prescription required in Korea |
Condoms are the only method in this list that also lowers the risk of sexually transmitted infections. The doctor can also give general information about other methods; ask the clinic about what is available.

Hormonal contraception is widely used and considered safe for most healthy people. Each method has possible side effects, such as irregular bleeding, headaches or mood changes.

The doctor explains the risks for you. Individual experiences vary.

Frequently asked questions
Which birth control method is the most effective?
Long-acting methods such as hormonal IUDs are among the most effective because they do not depend on daily use. Pills are also effective when taken correctly every day. The right choice depends on your health and preferences.
Can I continue the method I used in my home country?
Often, yes, or a similar option is available. Bring the package, prescription or IUD record. The doctor can explain what is available in Korea and how to switch safely. Dr. Eun can explain the details in English.
Do I need Korean health insurance for a contraception visit?
No. Contraception visits for prevention are generally not covered by NHIS anyway, so the fee is the same. The consultation fee is 20,000 KRW. Prices may change; confirm with the clinic.
Can I get contraception on an evening visit?
The clinic is open until 20:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Booking is recommended; call or message to check availability for your preferred time. Dr. Eun can explain the details in English.
