[Aftereffects of a Traffic Accident] If You Experience Neck or Lower Back Pain and Dizziness After an Accident, Here’s What to Check First

  • Key points
  • During consultations for post-traffic-accident symptoms in Ulsan, we first distinguish between warning signs and medical conditions before dismissing lingering neck, shoulder, and lower back pain, as well as headaches, dizziness, and fatigue, with the assumption that “it will get better with time.”
  • Loss of consciousness, progressively worsening headaches, repeated vomiting, slurred speech, weakness or numbness on one side of the body, chest pain, shortness of breath, and abdominal pain require immediate emergency evaluation.
  • When you repeatedly experience days with a stiff neck and heavy shoulders, it’s easy to brush it off by thinking, “It must be because of my poor posture.”

[Endometrial Adhesions] If Your Menstrual Flow Has Decreased and You’re Having Trouble Getting Pregnant, Here’s What to Check First

  • If your menstrual flow has noticeably decreased or stopped following a D&C after a miscarriage, uterine surgery, or an intrauterine infection, or if you are experiencing recurrent miscarriages or difficulty conceiving, you should consult an OB/GYN to determine whether an evaluation of the uterine cavity is necessary.
