The Korean Menopause Society (Chairman Oh Han-jin, Chairman Yoo Byung-eon, Chair Professor of Konyang Medical University) held a spring academic conference in the auditorium of Konkuk University Hospital in Seoul on the 1st.
On this day, Kim Ki-duk, director of the Sun Hospital Health Examination Center (Family Medicine Department), who serves as the general manager of the society, gave a lecture on the yeast syndrome that afflicts menopausal women during the session `when functional medicine is needed.'
Yeast syndrome is caused by yeast groups living in the intestine and causes symptoms such as △ abdominal bloating △ dizziness △ fatigue.
When intestinal yeast is excessively proliferated, alcohol is produced, causing dizziness such as hangovers.
This is similar to the principle that yeast is used to make alcohol, and when yeast is added to make bread, the sugar in the bread changes to carbon dioxide and the bread swells.
Kim Ki-duk, general manager, said "In addition, as sugar is broken down, intestinal gas is generated, which frequently causes indigestion or abdominal pain."Each bacterium, especially sensitive to humidity and air pressure, may have increased metabolism and increased toxins during the rainy season, making symptoms more pronounced" he said.
"For menopausal women, nutritional treatment and lifestyle improvement are important, and in particular, Berberine is helpful as an ingredient to reduce intestinal yeast."," he stressed.
Berberin is an alkaloid component contained in hawkwood, yellow lotus, and golden seal, and is known to be effective in removing harmful bacteria in the intestine, antioxidant, body fat decomposition, and blood sugar control. However, it is taboo for pregnant women due to the possibility of inducing uterine contractions and needs to be careful about taking it because it interacts with some drugs.
"Gluten in wheat flour or casein in milk can reduce digestive ability, so it is recommended to pay attention to intake or to use enzymes that break it down at the same time," said Kim Ki-duk, general manager. "Improving dietary habits such as reducing sugar intake and eating high-quality lactobacillus also helps to suppress the growth of yeast."
On the conference attended by more than 200 menopausal experts, Professor Hwang Hee-jin (Department of Family Medicine at Catholic Kwandong University International St. Mary's Hospital) evaluated that there were in-depth discussions on topics that help with continuous and comprehensive medical treatment such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health (blood pressure, blood sugar, lipid, obesity), functional medical approach to menopause, bone health (osteoporosis), reflux esophagitis, liver dysfunction, adult vaccination and depression in menopause.
Meanwhile, the Korean Menopause Society was established in 2011 to contribute to medical development and academic promotion to improve public health and promote health, and shares research, education, and medical results on menopausal health care through academic conferences and workshops.
