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

• Endometrial adhesions refer to a condition in which the inner walls of the uterus stick together, which can affect the shape of the uterine cavity or the flow of menstrual blood.
• 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.
• It can be concerning if your menstrual flow decreases significantly compared to before after a miscarriage or childbirth, or if you experience lower abdominal pain around your expected period but have almost no bleeding.

[Gastrointestinal] If you experience a feeling of fullness in the epigastric region accompanied by palpitations, you should have both phlegm-dampness syndrome and the autonomic nervous system evaluated.

• Ulsan During a consultation for “damjeok” syndrome, it is important to look beyond just indigestion—such as a tight or bloated sensation in the epigastric region—and check for accompanying symptoms such as palpitations, chest tightness, shortness of breath, anxiety, and sleep disturbances.
• When gastrointestinal motility decreases and stress persists for a long time, it can lead to a feeling of fullness accompanied by symptoms related to the autonomic nervous system.
• Even if test results show no major abnormalities, if symptoms recur, it is advisable to review your eating habits, stress levels, sleep patterns, bowel movements, and chest discomfort to assess both “damjeok” and the balance of the autonomic nervous system.

If you suddenly experience a racing heart and shortness of breath, it could be a sign of panic disorder

• Ulsan When you feel the need to seek counseling for panic disorder, it may not be because you’re “weak-minded,” but rather a sign that your body’s alarm system has become hypersensitive.
• Ulsan People who search for information on panic disorder often worry that they might have a serious illness because the symptoms are so sudden and intense.
• In particular, when symptoms such as heart palpitations, shortness of breath, cold sweats, dizziness, numbness in the hands and feet, and nausea occur all at once, it can feel like a medical emergency.
