Placenta Injection (Melsmon) for Menopausal Symptoms
Quick answer: Eunice Women's Clinic near Seongsu Station offers the Melsmon placenta injection, a human placenta extract product approved in Korea for menopausal symptoms. It is given as an injection after a consultation with Dr. Eun Mi-na, an English-speaking female OB-GYN. The posted out-of-pocket price is 30,000 KRW per injection. Individual results vary.
What is the Melsmon placenta injection?
Melsmon is a prescription injection made from human placenta extract. In Korea, it is approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for the treatment of menopausal symptoms (climacteric symptoms). It is not a hormone replacement product in the same way as estrogen therapy.
Placenta extract products are used in Korea and Japan. They are not approved in many other countries, and the scientific evidence is more limited than for standard hormone therapy. If you are from another country, this product may be new to you. The doctor can explain what is known and what is not.
Who is it for?
- Adults with menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes or sleep problems, who want to discuss an option in addition to or instead of hormone therapy
- People who have discussed their symptoms and health history with the doctor first
It may not be suitable for some people, including those with a history of allergic reactions to the product. Tell the doctor about your allergies and medicines. Other uses of placenta injections outside the approved indication are not offered on this page.
How does it work at the clinic?
- Consultation: Dr. Eun asks about your symptoms, periods and health history in English, and explains the available options, including menopause hormone therapy.
- Decision: If Melsmon is suitable and you choose it, the injection schedule is explained.
- Injection: The injection is given by clinic staff under the doctor's direction.
- Short observation: You may be asked to wait for a short time after the injection.
- Review: Your symptoms are reviewed at follow-up visits.
What are the possible side effects?
Possible side effects include pain, redness or swelling at the injection site, and, less commonly, rash, fever or other allergic-type reactions. Serious allergic reactions are rare. Tell staff right away if you feel unwell after the injection. Because it is made from human tissue, the manufacturing process includes screening and processing steps; ask the doctor if you have questions. Blood donation rules in some countries may restrict donors who have received placenta products; check with your blood service if this matters to you. Individual results vary.
