Women's Health

Periods, gynecology, pregnancy and birth

Topics covered on this board

This board covers pregnancy and childbirth, menopause, period problems and gynecological conditions. Pregnancy and childbirth, and menopause, have their own sub-boards. Care is centred on obstetrics and gynecology (산부인과). Gynecology care is care that all women use, whether or not pregnancy and childbirth are involved.

Do not put off these symptoms

  • Vaginal bleeding after menopause (always see a doctor)
  • When bleeding that is not a period keeps happening, or the period flow suddenly increases a lot
  • Bleeding, severe abdominal pain or reduced fetal movement during pregnancy — contact obstetrics and gynecology right away
  • When pelvic pain comes together with a fever
