   6.Medical Change Guidance and Recommendations

     1) The uterus has been removed and there will be no future periods.

     2) The ovaries remain and female hormones are maintained, so menopause is not possible. (Menopause is a state in which ovarian function is lost)

3) If you experience menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, sweating, sleep disturbances, etc.) or do not have menopausal symptoms until the age of 50, visit the hospital for a menopause test.

4) Get cervical cancer screening only during national cancer screening (cervical cancer incidence rate is low)

5) Ovarian cysts or ovarian cancer may occur due to the remaining ovaries, so get a gynecological ultrasound every year.

6) If there is no uterus, menopausal hormone therapy does not increase the incidence of breast cancer, so please actively consider hormone therapy during menopause.
