Here Are 3 Things to Keep in Mind When Removing a “flat warts (verruca plana)” in Changwon

By Choi Sang-ok Korean medicine doctor (KMD) · Haeyul Korean Medicine Clinic, Changwon

  • Key points
  • Many people, upon noticing rough, bumpy lesions on their neck or temples every time they look in the mirror, assume, “It’s probably just a simple pimple or milia,” and end up touching them with their hands—only to be caught off guard when the condition spreads across their entire face in an instant.
  • flat warts (verruca plana)is a contagious disease caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).
  • If you treat it lightly, as if it were just a common blemish, and scratch or handle it improperly, it can quickly spread to the surrounding healthy skin, only prolonging the treatment period.

What this article covers

  • 1. Is an accurate differential diagnosis performed first?
  • 2. Is the laser selected to minimize aftereffects based on the lesion and skin condition?
  • 3. Do you offer a “Retouch” program that detects even hidden lesions?

[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.
