Sexual health clinics overseas often provides a comprehensive consultation for sexual health issues, but in contrast, there is no specific department for "sexual health" included as part of standard departments under the Medical Law. Doctors who sees patients under internal medicine, infectious diseases, gynecology, urology, and dermatology are also seeing patients with sexual health concerns, such as sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy.

Women often consults the obstetrics and gynecology department and for men, they consult the urology department.

If you do not know where to consult, please consult a specialist first (dermatology if its condition of the skin, internal medicine if it is a systemic symptom, clinical oncology if it is about breasts). They will refer you to other departments according to the diagnosis and necessity.

The internet is commonly used to search for medical facilities, and there are various medical institution search sites and apps, but please be careful in choosing one. Sites that post patients feedback might be biased and differ from the facts.
In addition, the information on the site may be out of date, so please check and contact the institution before you visit.

Under the medical law, there is a medical information provision system (Medical Information Net) that provides information on medical institutions by prefectures for residents. It is highly advised that you access this for specific prefecture.
