Objectives: Hot flush and sweating is the most of common symptoms and the main cause of treatment in Menopause. This study aims to report the therapeutic effect of Korean medicine for menopausal sweating by analysis for the patients hospitalized in a Korean Medicine Hospital.
Methods: To analyze treatment of menopausal sweating, we studied 21 patients complaining of menopausal sweating hospitalized in Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong from 1st January 2015 to 31th May 2020 with retrospective chart review.
Results: All 21 subjects are treated by acupuncture, moxibustion and cupping therapy during hospitalization for an average of 11.3±9.14 days. The most common used korean herbal medicine was Gwibi-tang-gagambang, Soyo-san-gagambang, and Dangwiyukhwang-tang-gagambang, every 6 case (20%), followed by Ojeok-san with 2 cases (6.7%). The improvement rate averaged 56.4% for daytime sweating and 53.6% for night sweating.
