Discussing your priorities with Dr. Donghyun Lee

Describe the symptoms, timing and any previous infections, tests or operations. A consultation may involve sensitive topics; ask how privacy and interpretation will be handled. Treatment depends on the underlying diagnosis and your priorities, not the procedure name alone.

Bring medication details and relevant urine tests, imaging or surgical records. Ask which tests are essential, what the alternatives are and how treatment might affect urinary or sexual function.

Make the consultation useful

Before meeting Dr. Donghyun Lee, write down your main concern, how long it has affected you, what you have already tried and what a worthwhile improvement would mean in everyday life. Bring relevant clinical records and a list of medicines, supplements and allergies. If you have had earlier treatment, include the dates and any complications.

  • What is causing my symptoms?
  • What testing will change the treatment decision?
  • What functional benefits and trade-offs should I expect?
  • What follow-up will be needed at home?

Ask the doctor to explain the reasoning behind the proposed plan, including alternatives and the option of not proceeding. Confirm who will perform the treatment, who will review your recovery and how to obtain help outside the planned visits. For care abroad, discuss the follow-up arrangements before paying for treatment or booking a return flight.
