Menopause Hormone Therapy (HRT) in English in Seongsu
Quick answer: Eunice Women's Clinic near Seongsu Station offers menopause hormone therapy (HRT) consultations in English with Dr. Eun Mi-na, a female OB-GYN and member of the Korean Society of Menopause. After checking your symptoms, history and screening tests, the doctor explains whether hormone therapy or other options suit you. Individual results vary.
What is menopause hormone therapy?
Menopause hormone therapy (MHT), often called hormone replacement therapy (HRT), uses estrogen, and often a progestogen, to relieve symptoms caused by falling hormone levels around menopause. It comes in different forms, such as tablets, patches, gels and vaginal products. The type and dose depend on your symptoms and health.
Who is hormone therapy for?
- People with bothersome hot flashes or night sweats
- People with sleep problems, mood changes or vaginal dryness related to menopause
- People in perimenopause with irregular periods and symptoms
- People with early menopause, after evaluation by a doctor
Hormone therapy is not suitable for everyone. It may not be recommended for people with a history of certain cancers (such as breast cancer), blood clots, stroke, heart disease, active liver disease or unexplained vaginal bleeding.
How does menopause hormone therapy work at the clinic?
- Consultation in English: Dr. Eun asks about your symptoms, periods, health history and family history.
- Screening before treatment: Depending on your needs, this may include a Pap test, pelvic ultrasound, breast ultrasound and blood tests.
- Treatment plan: The doctor explains the options, including hormone therapy and non-hormonal choices, with their benefits and risks.
- Prescription: If you choose hormone therapy, you receive a prescription and instructions.
- Regular review: Follow-up visits check your symptoms, side effects and whether to continue or adjust treatment. Yearly checkups are generally recommended.
What are the benefits and risks?
For many people, hormone therapy may help reduce hot flashes and night sweats and may improve vaginal dryness. It may also help protect bone density. Individual results vary.
Possible side effects include breast tenderness, bloating, headaches and irregular bleeding, especially at the start. Longer-term risks can include a higher risk of blood clots and stroke, and, with some types and longer use, a small change in breast cancer risk. The balance of benefits and risks depends on your age, time since menopause, and health. The doctor reviews this with you. Report any unexpected bleeding.

Frequently asked questions
Is hormone therapy safe?
For many healthy people who start near the time of menopause, the benefits may outweigh the risks. It is not safe for everyone. The doctor reviews your personal and family history before recommending any treatment.

There is no single time limit. The doctor reviews your treatment regularly, usually at least once a year, and adjusts or stops it based on your symptoms, age and health.
Are there non-hormonal options for hot flashes?
Yes. Lifestyle changes and some non-hormonal medicines may help. The clinic also offers the placenta injection Melsmon, which is approved in Korea for menopausal symptoms. The doctor can explain the options.
Can I continue HRT I started in another country?
Often, yes, although the exact product may differ in Korea. Bring your prescription or packaging and recent test results so the doctor can find a suitable option. Dr. Eun can explain the details in English.
Do I need tests before starting hormone therapy?
Usually some screening is advised, such as a cervical screening, breast check and pelvic ultrasound. The doctor decides which tests you need based on your age and history. Dr. Eun can explain the details in English.
