Menopause
Menopause Care in Busan
From the first irregular periods of perimenopause to long-term bone and heart health, OB/GYN clinics in Busan can help you manage the changes of midlife. This guide explains the services available, how NHI applies, and where to start.
Understanding menopause
Menopause is confirmed after 12 months without a period, most commonly around age 50. The years before, called perimenopause, often bring irregular cycles, hot flashes, sleep problems and mood changes. After menopause, lower estrogen affects the vagina and bladder, bones and heart, so ongoing care matters even once symptoms ease.
What OB/GYN clinics offer
- Symptom assessment and, if needed, blood tests to rule out other causes such as thyroid disease.
- Menopausal hormone therapy in pills, patches or gels, plus local vaginal estrogen.
- Non-hormonal treatments for hot flashes, sleep and mood.
- Screening : cervical screening, pelvic ultrasound, and referral or testing for bone density and breast imaging.
- Vaginal and sexual health : moisturizers, lubricants and local treatments for dryness and pain.
Cost and insurance
Consultations and medically necessary tests are generally covered by National Health Insurance (NHI) with a co-pay. Korea's national health screening program also includes some age-based checks. Coverage of specific medicines and tests depends on criteria, so ask the clinic. Elective or cosmetic treatments are self-pay. See our women's health checkup cost guide .
Tips for foreigners
- Bring your ARC or passport, recent test results, and packaging of any hormones you take.
- Ask whether a female doctor is available if that matters to you. Clinics with female doctors are noted in the table.
- Use 1330 for interpretation. See our international patients guide .

When to get help sooner
