About

Kanetsu Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic, located in Awara City, Fukui Prefecture, is a comprehensive clinic providing primary care in internal medicine and pediatrics, based on the long-standing experience of the director, a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist, in gynecological tumor surgery and childbirth. The clinic offers precise infertility evaluations including basal body temperature measurement, cervical mucus testing, follicular monitoring via ultrasound, and hysterosalpingography. The menopause clinic provides low-dose hormone replacement therapy and Kampo herbal medicine treatment. Uterine cancer screenings include cytology, colposcopy, ultrasound endometrial examination, and ovarian and fallopian tube screening, while prenatal checkups utilize ultrasound imaging and color Doppler for fetal assessment. The pediatrics department handles infectious diseases, vaccinations, and infant health checkups, while internal medicine covers hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, osteoporosis, endocrine disorders, and fever clinics. Vaccinations include cervical cancer vaccine, quadrivalent vaccine, measles, rubella, influenza, Japanese encephalitis, mumps, varicella, pneumococcal vaccine, and gamma globulin vaccine for hepatitis B prevention. The internist on Wednesdays holds qualifications as a comprehensive internal medicine specialist from the Japanese Society of Internal Medicine, a diabetes specialist from the Japan Diabetes Society, and an endocrine metabolism specialist and instructor from the Japan Endocrine Society, providing highly specialized care. The clinic uses the online eligibility verification system to obtain medical information and supports smooth visits using My Number cards. The sick and recovering child care service serves children aged 2 months and up to 6th grade living in Awara City, Sakai City, or Fukui City, addressing situations where attending school or kindergarten during illness or recovery is difficult, or where childcare at home is challenging due to caregiver circumstances. With English-speaking staff, parking, and barrier-free facilities, the clinic plays a vital role in regional healthcare.
