Infertility Treatment:
Before you and your partner start treatment for infertility, talk about how far you want to go. For example, you may want to try medication but do not want to have surgery. While you may rethink this end point during your treatment, it's a good idea to have an idea where you want to draw the line. Many couples do not think about this in the beginning and become emotionally and financially drained from trying a series of treatments. Here are some common causes for infertility: problems with ovulating, hormonal imbalance blocked or damaged tubes, male infertility. Her are some treatments: endometriosis, artificial insemination (pearl method) in vitro fertilization (IVF). Our physicians are very experienced in treating infertility.

If infertility continues for 1-2 years we can introduce you to another hospital to try different options.


General Outpatients
We can see general outpatients who have ovarian cancer, breast cancer, hormonal imbalance, menopause, viral infections, internal secretion.

About the Hospital Director

Hidesato Kino, Head of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic

Born in 1949 in Kanazawa

Went to Juntendo University School of Medicine in 1975, graduated from the University of Gynecology, Dr. Kino Studied under Professor Hiroshi Furuya

Established Kino Gynecology Clinic in Omiya, 1982
Sophrology ceremony to introduce labor law, 1993
Basic philosophy of sophrology: based on the establishment of maternal postpartum. Aims to build a mother-child relationship through a variety of activities that support child-rearing process

that child psychiatrists should collaborate with midwives, nursery school attendants, and nutritionists to assist in the child rearing process. At the Kino Gynecology Clinic, infants from the age of 3 months to 2 years are given quantitative tests through maternal and child health examinations. Infants are given massages, mother and child can join the kangaroo club which gives child care assistance and the mother can receive expert advice from child-rearing experts.

Dr. Kino believes in the practice of aromatherapy in order to accelerate the birthing process and to help with swelling that occurs after giving birth.
Aromatherapy is a natural, healing modality employing essential oils extracted from aromatic plant sources to treat and balance the body, mind and spirit. During pregnancy, there are many instances when aromatherapy can be an extremely beneficial and helpful option.

Dr. Kino has written these books in the field of gynecology and maternal care: Health Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Paternity Care, The Practice of Aromatherapy. 　

Sophrology, based on a combination of Western relaxation therapy and Eastern yoga and meditation. Sophrology is well established in France, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Italy, and Andorra. Sophology was invented in 1960 by Spanish neurologist, Dr. A Caycedo. Sophrology entails a training program that works at improving the physical and psychological health and well-being. The mental and physical exercises are based on the concept of dynamic relaxation used in everyday life situations. Their benefits are claimed to: lower stress levels, improve sleep, manage emotions, improve concentration, increase energy levels, improve relationship with yourself and others, improve self-esteem and self confidence, harmony in mind, body and soul.
This clinic will use Sophrology to focus on child-birth preparation. Sophrology is essentially based on mental concentration, visualization of the different parts of the body and respiration that allow mothers-to-be to become aware of their uterus and their fetus. The mother puts herself in a state that allows her to visualize a certain part of her body and act on it using precise breathing techniques. The techniques used in sophrology enable the mother to remain in control of herself during childbirth and to experience this event to the full. In fact, the aim of sophrology is to increase the feeling of happiness and reduce anxiety. The midwife will help the mother to relax physically and mentally using particular visualization techniques that allow her to positively anticipate the events ahead of her, her baby and her family. With her eyes closed, she releases tension in her body, muscle by muscle, while breathing deeply. Perfectly relaxed, she can then contemplate labor. As the weeks go by, by regularly practicing these exercises, the mother-to-be gains in self-confidence and her ability to give birth. On the day of birth, she will once more be able to call on these positive images in order to return to slow, deep breathing and better overcome her fears and the pain.

Sophrology and the mother-child bond

At the Kino Maternity Clinic, we believe sophrology ensures that mothers have the most stress free and painless childbirth. We take great pride in our program but continue to look for ways to improve.

It is our wish that all mothers-to-be should raise their children the right way. We believe that through sophrology a mother can have peace of mind and body to begin on the right path to a loving and healthy relationship with their child.

Post Partum Childcare

Caring for a newborn can be challenging, exasperating, and one of the most rewarding jobs you will ever hold. We offer some tips and suggestions to help you get through the first two years. It is important to find advice from our clinics team of experts, other parents that have "been there, done that," that totally understand what you're going through as they're in the same boat.

Infant health check-ups
One of the reasons for the frequent visits during the first year is to make sure concerns are kept to a minimum, and that the baby is developing normally.

Beginning at three months, babies are started on their vaccinations. At each visit, the baby's height, weight and head circumference are examined. A full physical exam, with the doctor checking everything from the baby's heartbeat to looking in his or her ears and inquiring about developmental milestones, is also conducted.

Checkups allow your doctor to review your child's growth and development, perform tests, or give shots. Checkups are a good time for parents to ask questions. Make a list of your questions and concerns and bring it with you.

Baby massage

Baby massage can be a good thing for both parent and child because:　It's a good bonding experience - a good way for you and your baby to get to know each other and to spend a bit of quality time together.　Studies have suggested that physical contact is good for babies, improving their breathing, circulation, digestion and growth. Baby massage is even claimed to combat postnatal depression in mothers
It provides a good source of sensory and muscle stimulation, which is beneficial to all babies。It relaxes both parent and child.　It's fun for both of you.

Kangaroo Club

Raising children is supposed to be fun, why is it sometimes such a burden? Originally it was the sole responsibility of the mother to take care of her child; today however the community has become more involved. The way our society is structured it is becoming more difficult for a mother to take on sole responsibility of raising her child.
