Patients with Chronic Urticaria Dependent on Antihistamines | Incheon Urticaria
Hello, I'm Dr. Choi Yeon-seung from Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. <br><br>Today, I'm going to talk about growth supplements. <br><b><br>1. Types of Growth Supplements</b> <br>Growth supplements are broadly divided into two types. <br><b><br>①Growth hormone secretagogues</b> <br>This is the most common type of growth supplement, and as the name suggests, it's a medicine that promotes the secretion of growth hormone. <br>It is mainly sold in the form of food or nutritional supplements, with amino acid-based ingredients such as arginine, ornithine, and lysine being the main components. <br><b><br>②Growth hormone preparations</b> <br>Growth hormone preparations, sometimes referred to as growth hormone supplements, literally involve administering growth hormone itself. <br>Growth hormone preparations are prescription-only medications administered in hospitals, prescribed only to children with growth hormone deficiency. <br>Therefore, most growth supplements available at pharmacies, etc., are growth hormone secretagogues. <br><b><br>2. Do Growth Supplements Really Work?</b> <br>Growth hormone secretagogues have not shown consistent effects in clinical studies. <br>Although some studies have shown growth-promoting effects, other studies have concluded that there is no effect. <br>For these reasons, growth hormone secretagogues <span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);"><b>are not officially used in the treatment of growth failure.</b></span> <br>As mentioned earlier, growth hormone preparations are definitely effective for children with growth hormone deficiency. <br>However, for children without growth hormone deficiency, research findings indicate that even if growth hormone preparations are administered, the effect is negligible or there is no effect on height growth. <br><b><br>3. What are the side effects of growth hormone preparations?</b> <br>Growth hormone preparations can cause various side effects such as headaches, vomiting, and joint pain. <br>In some cases, severe side effects such as thyroid dysfunction and increased intracranial pressure may occur. <br>Of course, these side effects can be managed through medication adjustment under the supervision of a specialist. <br>However, for children without growth hormone deficiency, there are no benefits to administering growth hormone preparations that would outweigh these side effects. <br><b><br>4. Why Should We Get Bone Age and Growth Plate Examinations?</b> <br>Height growth depends on bone age and the condition of the growth plates. <br>If a child's bone age is advanced compared to their chronological age, the growth plates may close early, and height growth may stop prematurely. <br>Conversely, if bone age is delayed compared to chronological age, the growth plates may close later, and there may be more potential for height growth remaining. <br>Therefore, bone age and growth plate examinations are important for predicting a child's growth potential and establishing an appropriate growth management plan. <br><b><br>5. How Should We Manage Growth?</b> <br>The core of growth management is to understand bone age and the condition of the growth plates, and to find and apply individualized methods suitable for the child. <br>At Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, considering the child's health condition and constitution, we help manage growth through various methods such as growth acupuncture treatment, herbal medicine treatment, and lifestyle improvements. <br>Growth acupuncture treatment stimulates the growth plates and promotes growth hormone secretion, thereby aiding height growth. <br>Herbal medicine treatment, tailored to the child's constitution and health condition, improves the root causes of growth failure and helps activate the growth plates. <br>Lifestyle improvements promote healthy growth through a nutritionally balanced diet, sufficient sleep, and regular exercise. <br>Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic is here to support the healthy growth of children during their growth period.
Is Your Morning Coffee Actually 'Poison' For Your Body? | A Must-Read For Those With Sensitive Stomachs!
Hello, this is Baeknokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. <div>How should post-thyroidectomy care be managed?</div> <div>After thyroid cancer surgery, adjuvant therapies like chemotherapy or radiation therapy are often not administered.

Post-Thyroidectomy Diet Management</b></div> <div>After thyroid cancer surgery, it is advisable to consume soft foods that are easy to swallow and to avoid irritating foods.

Deer repeatedly grow and shed their antlers. The newly grown antlers are harvested and used while they are still in a soft state before completely hardening. It is primarily used for medicinal purposes and refers to the soft, velvety antlers that have not yet ossified. <br> <b>"What are the benefits of deer antler?"</b> <br> Deer antler has been used as a precious medicinal ingredient since ancient times. According to the Donguibogam, deer antler is recorded to have the effects of <b>tonifying the five viscera and six bowels, promoting blood circulation, and enhancing virility</b>. In modern medicine, deer antler is also known to have <b>various benefits such as strengthening immunity, recovering from fatigue, promoting growth and development, and improving memory</b>. <br> <b>What kind of deer antler does Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic use?</b> <br> At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we insist on using only <b>Russian Abaissk deer antler</b>.

Epigastric Tenderness Upon Palpation: Epigastric Glomus Syndrome
Hello, I am Korean medical doctor Choi Yeon-seung from Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic.<br><br> Today, I'd like to talk about <b>vitreous floaters</b>.<br><br> Have you ever experienced something like dust floating in front of your eyes?<br><br> Floaters can manifest in various forms, such as sudden black spots, thread-like shapes, or transparent cobwebs appearing in your field of vision.<br><br> <b>Vitreous floaters</b> are a condition caused by the degeneration of the vitreous humor inside the eye.<br><br> The vitreous humor in our eyes is a transparent, gel-like tissue that maintains the shape of the eyeball and allows light to pass through.<br><br> However, due to various causes such as aging, inflammation, or hemorrhage, the vitreous humor liquefies or becomes turbid, causing these opaque substances to float within the eye, which is precisely what vitreous floaters are.<br><br> While most floaters are a natural phenomenon associated with aging, they can also be an early symptom of serious ophthalmic diseases like <b>retinal detachment or vitreous hemorrhage</b>, so it is important to get an accurate diagnosis.<br><br> Floaters often improve naturally without specific treatment, but if symptoms are severe or cause discomfort in daily life, active treatment can be considered.<br><br> In Korean medicine, vitreous floaters are viewed as a disorder of qi and blood circulation within the eye and are treated accordingly.<br><br> Through acupuncture, herbal medicine, and pharmacopuncture treatments, we promote qi and blood circulation around the eyes and inhibit the degeneration of the vitreous humor to improve vitreous floaters.<br><br> In addition, we also provide guidance for lifestyle improvements to prevent recurrence and promote overall eye health.<br><br> If you are experiencing discomfort due to vitreous floaters, do not hesitate to visit Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.<br><br> We will do our best for your eye health.

Hello, this is Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. This time, at Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we will be discussing <br> rotator cuff tear, one of the conditions that cause shoulder pain. <br><br> <strong><What is a Rotator Cuff Tear?></strong> <br> The rotator cuff consists of four tendons around the shoulder: <br> namely the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor. <br> Among the conditions that cause shoulder pain, rotator cuff tears are one of the most common. <br> It is a condition where these four tendons rupture due to overuse of the shoulder, <br> causing severe pain. <br><br> A rotator cuff tear can manifest as a sensation that the shoulder is dislocating, <br> difficulty lifting the arm, or a dull, throbbing pain in the shoulder. <br> Additionally, if you hear a clicking sound in your shoulder <br> or experience weakness in your arm, a rotator cuff tear may be suspected. <br><br> <strong><Causes of Rotator Cuff Tears></strong> <br> Rotator cuff tears can arise from various causes. <br> They often occur naturally as tendons weaken with age, <br> and can also result from overuse of the shoulder joint. <br> Furthermore, they may develop from excessive sports activities <br> or strong external impacts, such as those from a traffic accident. <br><br> <strong><Treatment Methods for Rotator Cuff Tears></strong> <br> At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we treat rotator cuff tears that cause shoulder pain <br> using the following methods: <br><br> <strong>- Acupuncture Treatment</strong> <br> Acupuncture treatment helps to smooth the circulation of 'qi' and blood in the painful area, <br> reduce inflammation and swelling, and alleviate pain. <br><br> <strong>- Pharmacopuncture Treatment</strong> <br> Pharmacopuncture treatment involves directly injecting a pharmacopuncture solution, <br> made by purifying and extracting pure herbal medicine ingredients, into the painful area. <br> It is an effective treatment for promoting the recovery of damaged tendons, <br> reducing inflammation, and alleviating pain. <br><br> <strong>- Bee Venom Therapy</strong> <br> Bee venom therapy is a treatment that involves directly injecting refined bee venom into the painful area. <br> It is an effective treatment for eliminating inflammation through its powerful anti-inflammatory action <br> and rapidly relieving pain. <br><br> <strong>- Cupping Therapy</strong> <br> Cupping therapy helps to remove 'stagnant blood', <br> improve blood circulation, and alleviate pain. <br><br> <strong>- Physical Therapy</strong> <br> Physical therapy helps to relax the muscles in the painful area, <br> improve joint range of motion, and alleviate pain. <br><br> <strong>- Herbal Medicine Prescription</strong> <br> Herbal medicine prescriptions are tailored to an individual's constitution and symptoms, <br> aiding in the recovery of damaged tendons, <br> improving the circulation of 'qi' and blood around the shoulder, <br> and helping to fundamentally treat shoulder pain. <br><br> At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we are committed to helping everyone suffering from shoulder pain <br> regain a healthy and vibrant daily life. <br> Thank you.

Middle Finger Pain: Causes and Treatment | Incheon Trigger Finger Tenosynovitis
안녕하세요 백록담한의원 한의사 최연승 입니다. <br> 오늘은 <mark>뇌전증과 간질</mark>의 차이에 대해 설명드리려고 합니다. <br> 우선, 이 두 용어를 같이 두고 많이 혼란스러워 하시는 분들이 많으실 것 같아요. <br> 특히 간질이라는 단어는 과거에 많이 쓰였던 표현으로, 뇌전증보다 익숙한 분들도 계실겁니다. <br> 하지만 의학적인 정의와 함께 두 단어의 차이점을 알면 앞으로 좀 더 정확하게 뇌전증이라는 단어를 사용하실 수 있을 거예요. <br> 그럼, <mark>뇌전증과 간질</mark>의 차이에 대해 좀 더 자세히 알아볼까요? <br><br> <h3>1. 뇌전증과 간질, 무엇이 다를까?</h3> <br> 결론부터 말씀드리자면, <mark>두 단어는 같은 질환을 의미</mark>합니다. <br> 다만, <mark>간질이라는 용어는 과거의 표현이며, 지금은 뇌전증이라는 용어가 공식적으로 사용</mark>됩니다. <br> 과거에는 간질이라는 용어가 질환에 대한 부정적인 사회적 편견과 낙인으로 이어지는 경우가 많았습니다. <br> 이에 따라 <mark>세계보건기구(WHO)를 포함한 국제보건기구들은 뇌전증(Epilepsy)이라는 용어의 사용을 권장</mark>하고 있습니다. <br> <br> 뇌전증은 뇌의 비정상적인 전기적 활동으로 인해 발생하는 만성적인 신경학적 질환입니다. <br> 뇌전증 환자는 반복적으로 경련이나 발작을 경험하며, 이는 뇌의 어느 부분에서 비정상적인 활동이 시작되는지에 따라 다양한 형태로 나타날 수 있습니다. <br> 간질이라는 용어는 이제 의학계에서 거의 사용되지 않으며, 정확하고 현대적인 표현인 <mark>뇌전증(Epilepsy)</mark>으로 대체되었습니다. <br><br> <h3>2. 뇌전증, 오해와 진실</h3> <br> 뇌전증에 대한 오해와 진실을 풀어보는 시간을 가져보겠습니다. <br> 간혹 뇌전증을 '정신 질환'으로 오해하는 분들이 계시는데, 이는 <mark>명백한 신경학적 질환</mark>입니다. <br> 또한, <mark>전염성이 없으며, 유전되는 경우도 매우 드뭅니다.</mark> <br> 뇌전증 환자들은 적절한 치료와 관리를 통해 일상생활을 충분히 영위할 수 있습니다. <br> 궁극적으로 뇌전증은 뇌의 기능 이상으로 발생하는 질환이며, 사회적 편견이나 낙인이 아닌 이해와 지원이 필요한 질환임을 강조하고 싶습니다. Hello, I am Choi Yeon-seung, a Korean Medicine doctor at Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. <br> Today, I'd like to explain the difference between <mark>epilepsy and 'ganjil'</mark>. <br> First of all, I believe many people are quite confused by these two terms when used together. <br> Especially, the word 'ganjil' was an expression widely used in the past, and some people might even be more familiar with it than with 'epilepsy'. <br> However, if you understand the medical definitions and the difference between the two terms, you will be able to use the word 'epilepsy' more accurately in the future. <br> So, shall we learn more about the difference between <mark>epilepsy and 'ganjil'</mark>? <br><br> <h3>1. Epilepsy and 'Ganjil': What's the Difference?</h3> <br> To get straight to the point, <mark>the two terms refer to the same condition</mark>. <br> However, <mark>the term 'ganjil' is an older expression, and now the term 'epilepsy' is officially used</mark>. <br> In the past, the term 'ganjil' often led to negative social prejudice and stigma associated with the condition. <br> Accordingly, <mark>international health organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), recommend the use of the term epilepsy</mark>. <br> <br> Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. <br> Patients with epilepsy repeatedly experience seizures or convulsions, which can manifest in various forms depending on which part of the brain the abnormal activity originates from. <br> The term 'ganjil' is now rarely used in the medical community and has been replaced by the accurate and modern term <mark>epilepsy</mark>. <br><br> <h3>2. Epilepsy: Misconceptions and Truths</h3> <br> Let's take some time to clarify the misconceptions and truths about epilepsy. <br> Occasionally, some people misunderstand epilepsy as a 'mental illness', but it is a <mark>clear neurological disorder</mark>. <br> Also, <mark>it is not contagious, and it is very rarely hereditary.</mark> <br> Patients with epilepsy can fully lead normal daily lives through appropriate treatment and management. <br> Ultimately, I want to emphasize that epilepsy is a condition caused by brain dysfunction, and it requires understanding and support, not social prejudice or stigma.

Whole Body Swelling: Is There No Apparent Cause? | Incheon Swelling
안녕하세요 백록담한의원 최연승 한의사 입니다. Hello, I am Dr. Choi Yeon-seung from Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. 오늘은 생리전증후군에 대해 알아보겠습니다. Today, we will learn about Premenstrual Syndrome. 생리전증후군은 가임기 여성의 절반 이상이 경험하는 흔한 증상입니다. Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a common condition experienced by more than half of women of childbearing age. 생리가 시작되기 4~10일 전부터 다양한 신체적, 정신적 증상들이 나타나 불편감을 느끼는 것을 말합니다. It refers to the discomfort felt from various physical and mental symptoms that appear 4 to 10 days before menstruation begins. 정상적인 생리주기를 가지는 여성에서 배란기와 생리 사이에 나타납니다. It occurs in women with a normal menstrual cycle, between ovulation and menstruation. 생리가 시작되면 증상이 사라지는 것이 특징입니다. It is characterized by the symptoms disappearing once menstruation begins. <b><p>생리전증후군 증상</p></b> <b><p>Premenstrual Syndrome Symptoms</p></b> 생리전증후군의 증상은 매우 다양하게 나타납니다. The symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome are highly varied. 크게 신체적 증상과 정신적 증상으로 나눌 수 있습니다.

In addition to the symptoms mentioned above, other various symptoms that you personally experience may also appear. 불편감을 느끼는 모든 증상들을 총칭하여 생리전증후군이라고 할 수 있습니다. All symptoms that cause discomfort can collectively be referred to as Premenstrual Syndrome. <b><p>생리전증후군 진단 기준</p></b> <b><p>Premenstrual Syndrome Diagnostic Criteria</p></b> 다음과 같은 기준을 만족해야 생리전증후군으로 진단할 수 있습니다. To be diagnosed with Premenstrual Syndrome, the following criteria must be met. <br> 1. 지난 1년간 대부분의 생리 주기에서 생리 5일 전부터 1개 이상의 신체적, 정신적 증상(총 5가지 이상)이 나타나고 생리가 시작된 지 4일 이내에 증상이 없어지거나 호전되고, 생리 후 최소 일주일 동안은 증상이 나타나지 않아야 합니다. 1. Over the past year, in most menstrual cycles, one or more physical and mental symptoms (a total of 5 or more types) must appear starting 5 days before menstruation; these symptoms must disappear or improve within 4 days of menstruation starting; and no symptoms should appear for at least one week after menstruation. <br> 2. 사회생활이나 일상생활에 지장을 줄 만큼 심한 증상이 나타나야 합니다. 2.
