What Types of Conditions Are Managed by the Family Planning Department?

The Family Planning Department mainly focuses on the health of reproductive organs and various contraceptive methods or pregnancy methods. It is responsible for various family planning inspections, treatments, and contraceptive guidance. It carries out artificial abortion techniques, placement and removal of intrauterine devices, medical abortion, sterilization procedures, various inductions, tubal anastomosis surgeries, and difficult hysteroscopic ring removal, inspection, and treatment. It also offers pain-reducing and painless abortion procedures.

Based on the duration of the patient's pregnancy, the Family Planning Department can advise on suitable abortion methods, such as medical abortion, artificial abortion, or painless abortion for early pregnancy patients. For mid-term pregnancies, induction of labor or dilation and curettage procedures may be used. For patients who need contraception, family planning doctors can also inform them of suitable contraceptive methods, such as placement and removal of intrauterine devices or the use of contraceptive medications.
