Japanese gynecology is advanced and up-to-date, and despite popular belief, you can get hold of the low dose contraceptive pill here as well, though you will find that very few Japanese women visit a gynecologist regularly. You may find that your normal doctor doesn&#8217;t do gynecological stuff, so you&#8217;ll need to go to a bigger hospital or a special women&#8217;s clinic and see someone there.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t hesitate to ask questions or speak up if you feel you have not been understood, and you can request a female doctor. Once again remember that the approach will be different to that in the West, and this might lead to some frustrations. If you do need to visit a gynecologist you probably won\u2019t have to tell your teachers exactly what is wrong, unlike if you just had a cold, or had broken something. The word gynecologist (fujinka), is usually enough to satisfy them.<\/p>\n<p>If time and location allow it, the Toyama University Pharmaceutical Hospital would be my first recommendation as there are many English-speaking doctors there. On my visit to this hospital, the staff went out of their way to help me, and to put me at ease. They understand that going to see the gynecologist is difficult at the best of times, let alone in a foreign country. They required a lot of information about me and my general health, I had to fill out a questionnaire beforehand, which was examined and discussed in depth when I saw the Doctor. The consultation was lengthy, but it was complete.<\/p>\n<p>The gynecology department at the pharmaceutical University hospital is open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 8:30am to 12:30pm. If you don\u2019t manage to phone in advance, just get there as early as you can, and expect to wait.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, there are a number of \u201cLadies\u2019 Clinics\u201d scattered across the ken. You can get checkups and the pill at ladies\u2019 clinics, and some of them are staffed entirely by women. However, it\u2019s not guaranteed that you will find an English-speaking doctor since these are often private practices. Ask your Regional Representatives or the PA for suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>If you can, have someone phone the hospital in advance to let them know when and why you are coming, and that you\u2019ll need to see someone who can speak English (if possible).<\/p>\n<p>If you want the pill, it\u2019s best if you take along an old pill packet, instruction book or prescription, so that they can give you the closest match.<\/p>\n<p>It may be necessary for you to obtain the morning after pill during your stay here in Japan. You can get this pill at the gynecology department at most General Hospitals (Sogo Byouin). It is very helpful to take someone who is fluent in Japanese with you or have them call the hospital ahead to avoid any confusion as to what you are looking for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LADIES&#8217; CLINICS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most hospitals listed below claim to have English speaking staff, but the smaller clinics may not. Usually, the main doctors speak a little bit of English, but the front staff does not.<\/p>\n<p>Note that most hospitals will have a doctor on call in case of emergencies, but clinics are not as such. Note that Citizen\u2019s hospitals sometimes will refuse insurance cards if you are not from that city. Most of these places have been listed because of the fact that their location is central. This list is not inclusive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LADIES&#8217; CLINICS BY REGION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Note:<\/em> EA stands for English ability, and &#8220;foreign friendly&#8221; means they get a big round of applause for being extra friendly and helpful, despite any language barriers.\u00a0 Below the chart are some Japanese phrases to ask the nurses for an English speaking doctor. Don&#8217;t panic yet! You may be visiting an English speaking doctor, but the nurses probably won&#8217;t know English. They may try and ask you some questions to help direct you to the right doctor (especially in larger hospitals), so it&#8217;s good to have a few vocab words and phrases at your disposal. Please consult the JET Diary medical section for a more comprehensive list of symptoms and expressions if you need more Japanese when visiting your doctor.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"728\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"198\">\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>NIIKAWA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>REGION<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"180\">\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>TAKAOKA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>REGION<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"180\">\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>TONAMI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>REGION<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"170\">\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>TOYAMA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>REGION<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"198\">\n<p align=\"center\"><em><strong>KUROBE<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>1.\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/med-kurobe.jp\/\">\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/med-kurobe.jp\/\"><strong>\u9ed2\u90e8\u5e02\u6c11\u75c5\u9662<\/strong><strong> (Kurobe City<\/strong><strong>\u00a0Hospital)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u9ed2\u90e8\u5e02\u4e09\u65e5\u5e02\uff11\uff11\uff10\uff18\u756a\u5730\uff11 Kurobe-shi Mikkaichi 1108-1 Phone: 0765-54-2211 Hours of Operation: 07:30\uff5e11:00<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">EA: Dr. Takashi Arai (male gynecologist) speaks English well.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Oak Ladies Clinic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>(<\/strong><strong>\u30aa\u30fc\u30af\u30ec\u30c7\u30a3\u30b9\u30af\u30ea\u30cb\u30c3\u30af\u200e<\/strong><strong>)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u65e5\u672c, \u9ed2\u90e8\u5e02\u837b\u751f2695\u200e Phone: 0765-57-1122\u200e Directions and map link.
