[Residual Urine Sensation] If you don’t feel completely relieved after urinating, you should consider both residual urine sensation and bladder sensitivity.

  • Key points
  • Ulsan When consulting about a sensation of residual urine, it is important to distinguish whether the patient is actually unable to fully empty their bladder or whether they repeatedly experience a sensation of residual urine even though test results show minimal residual urine.
  • A sensation of incomplete bladder emptying may occur alongside cystitis, overactive bladder, urethral irritation, pelvic floor tension, constipation, menopausal mucosal changes, and stress.
  • By compiling the results of the urinalysis, the voiding diary, and information on whether you experience frequent urination, urinary urgency, or pain, we can examine the underlying cause in greater detail.

If you experience weight loss, repeated vomiting, vomiting blood, black stools, severe abdominal pain, dehydration, or new neurological symptoms, prompt medical evaluation is essential.

[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.

[Vaginal Discharge] Abundant, watery vaginal discharge: You need to distinguish whether it’s a sign of vaginitis or a signal from your body

  • Ulsan When consulting on cold vaginal discharge, the first thing we assess is whether the increased volume is due to an infectious vaginitis, changes in the menstrual cycle, or a combination of lower abdominal coldness and impaired mucosal healing.
  • If vaginal discharge, odor, and itching are pronounced, testing should be the first step. However, if tests show no significant abnormalities but excessive discharge, dampness, and discomfort persist, it is necessary to examine the body’s circulation and recovery processes as well.
  • “Cold” refers to the mucus naturally secreted by a woman’s body.

[Recurrent Vaginitis] If you experience frequent episodes of vaginitis, it is important to examine both your vaginal environment and your immune function

  • Ulsan During consultations for recurrent vaginitis, we determine why symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, itching, burning, odor, and discomfort after intercourse frequently recur.
  • While it is important to alleviate acute symptoms of vaginitis with antibiotics or vaginal suppositories, if the condition recurs, it is essential to consider the vaginal environment, immune function, sleep and fatigue, the menstrual cycle, and whether cystitis is present.
  • Vaginitis is a very common condition among women.

[Stress Urinary Incontinence] If you leak urine when you cough, you should check for stress urinary incontinence

  • Ulsan Stress urinary incontinence is a condition in which urine leaks when coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting heavy objects.
  • Unlike symptoms such as a burning sensation or frequent urge to urinate—which are typical of cystitis—this condition often occurs when increased abdominal pressure weakens the pelvic floor muscles and the support for the urethra.
  • Ulsan The most important thing when consulting about stress urinary incontinence is not to look at just one symptom in isolation.
