Where can I get urinary incontinence surgery in Seoul?
Urinary incontinence surgery in Seoul is available at Trinity Women's Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, about a minute from Exit 1 of Sinsa Station, where two female board-certified OB-GYN specialists with 20 and 15 years of specialist experience, Dr. Nan-hee Jeong and Dr. Ki-yeol Yang, see you from consultation to follow-up. For stress incontinence — leaking when you cough, sneeze or exercise — Trinity performs a mini-sling that takes about 15 minutes under IV sedation or local anesthesia, and most patients go home the same day after urination is checked. Urge incontinence is treated first with medication and bladder training, so the type is confirmed before surgery. Trinity is a foreign-patient facility registered with Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare. An English-speaking coordinator answers directly on WhatsApp, before your trip and after you return home.
How long should I stay in Seoul?
