Menopause Treatment in Busan, Korea

Menopause is a natural transition in a woman's life, but the hormonal changes associated with menopause can significantly affect physical health, emotional well-being, sexual health, and quality of life. While some women experience only mild symptoms, others may require medical treatment to manage moderate or severe menopausal symptoms.

At Seomyeon Glory Women's Clinic, our experienced English-speaking OBGYN specialists provide individualized menopause care using evidence-based treatments designed to relieve symptoms, maintain long-term health, and improve overall well-being.

What Is Menopause?

Menopause is defined as the permanent end of menstrual periods after 12 consecutive months without menstruation.

It occurs because the ovaries gradually produce less estrogen and progesterone.

Menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, although some women experience early or premature menopause.

Common Symptoms of Menopause

Menopausal symptoms vary from woman to woman and may include:

• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Irregular periods before menopause
• Vaginal dryness
• Pain during sexual intercourse
• Mood changes
• Irritability
• Anxiety
• Sleep disturbances
• Fatigue
• Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
• Decreased libido
• Urinary urgency
• Recurrent urinary tract infections

Symptoms may begin during perimenopause and continue for several years after menopause.

Health Changes After Menopause

Reduced estrogen levels may increase the risk of:

• Osteoporosis
• Bone fractures
• Cardiovascular disease
• Vaginal atrophy
• Urinary symptoms
• Weight gain
• Metabolic changes

Regular gynecological care and preventive health screenings remain important after menopause.

How Is Menopause Diagnosed?

Your evaluation may include:

• Medical history review

• Hormone blood tests when appropriate
• Bone health assessment
• Thyroid function testing if indicated
