Question 1

I was diagnosed with cervical dysplasia — do I absolutely need a cone biopsy?

Accepted Answer

For early stage (Stage 1) or unmarried women, immune therapy is recommended over surgery. Surgery shortens the cervix length, which can increase the risk of premature birth.

Question 2

They say my uterine lining is thick and I need a D&C (endometrial hyperplasia).

Accepted Answer

The lining has grown abnormally due to excess estrogen. If it is simple hyperplasia without cancer risk, herbal medicine can induce withdrawal bleeding that sheds the lining.

Question 3

The reason my IVF failed was chronic endometritis, but I had no symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Chronic endometritis is often asymptomatic — a silent implantation saboteur. Even after antibiotic treatment, the endometrial immune system must be restored with probiotics and herbal medicine for full recovery.

Question 4

I have adenomyosis — do I need a hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Adenomyosis is where endometrial tissue invades the muscle layer, enlarging the uterus. Hysterectomy is a last resort, and Korean medicine treatment can control menstrual pain and excessive bleeding.

Question 5

I have PCOS and they just tell me to lose weight. Will losing weight actually cure it?

Accepted Answer

For obese-type PCOS, insulin resistance is the cause, so weight loss alone often restores ovulation. A low-carbohydrate diet combined with herbal medicine to boost metabolism is needed.

Question 6

They say I have a cyst on my ovary — will it go away?

Accepted Answer

Most cysts (functional cysts) form during ovulation and disappear on their own within 1 to 3 months. However, if they do not disappear and grow larger, treatment is needed.

Question 7

When I am tired, vaginitis recurs (Gardnerella/Candida).

Accepted Answer

The beneficial bacteria in the vagina (Lactobacillus) have disappeared and anaerobic bacteria or fungus have proliferated. Stop overusing antibiotics and restore the vaginal acidity (pH).

Question 8

I have a cervical polyp that is causing bleeding.

Accepted Answer

A polyp is mucous membrane protruding due to inflammation and circulation problems. While easily removed, it often recurs, so fundamental uterine detox treatment should accompany removal.

Question 9

I get a urinary tract infection every time after intercourse (honeymoon cystitis).

Accepted Answer

The short female urethra makes it easy for bacteria to penetrate from stimulation. Rather than just taking antibiotics, strengthen the bladder mucosa to build bacterial resistance.

Question 10

A quail-egg-sized lump appeared at the vaginal entrance and it is painful (Bartholin cyst).

Accepted Answer

This is a Bartholin cyst where the gland opening became blocked causing inflammation. Since draining with a needle often recurs, drainage and circulation treatment to open the gland is needed.
