  • Key points
  • Ulsan You should seek consultation for “Damjeok” even if your endoscopy results are normal—especially if you experience recurring symptoms such as bloating after meals, frequent feelings of fullness, belching, nausea, or a sensation of something stuck in your throat, to the point where eating becomes uncomfortable.

[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.

[Autonomic Nervous System] Why Your Heart Races and You Can’t Fall Asleep When You Lie Down to Sleep

  • Ulsan During consultations for autonomic nervous system dysfunction, it is common for patients to report, “When I lie down to sleep, my heart races and I can’t fall asleep.”
  • There are people who manage to get through the day somehow, but when they lie down at night, their heart races, they feel short of breath, or their mind becomes too clear, making it difficult to fall asleep.
  • In such cases, people tend to worry, “Could there be a problem with my heart?” but when they’re told that the test results show no specific abnormalities, they’re left with a different kind of unease.

[Functional Dyspepsia] If You Feel Bloated Even After Eating Just a Little, Check for Postprandial Discomfort First

  • Ulsan When consulting about functional dyspepsia or postprandial discomfort, the first thing to do is not to dismiss the discomfort lightly just because “the test results were normal.”
  • We need to assess whether you feel bloated even after eating only a small amount, whether you experience upper abdominal pain, heartburn, or nausea after meals, whether there are any warning signs such as weight changes, black stools, or difficulty swallowing, and what your current medications, sleep patterns, stress levels, and eating habits are like.
  • It can be especially frustrating when you feel full after eating only a small amount of food, experience a tight sensation or nausea in your upper abdomen after meals, and burp frequently—only to be told by doctors that medical tests show no significant abnormalities.
