Dark circles under the eyes are a common cosmetic concern, often giving the appearance of fatigue or aging. Dark circles are not a single condition but manifest in several forms: vascular (caused by thin skin revealing bluish or purplish blood vessels), structural or shadow-type (resulting from protruding under-eye fat), pigmentary (due to melanin deposits), and complex (a combination of these factors).Allergic rhinitis, a prevalent condition marked by nasal inflammation, is closely linked to vascular dark circles. When nasal passages swell, blood flow around the nose and under the eyes may st

[Physician's Column] By Geon Gil, Director of UWell Urology ClinicAquablation is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), utilizing a high-velocity saline jet guided by a robotic system and real-time ultrasound imaging to precisely remove excess prostate tissue. Unlike traditional methods, this technique avoids thermal damage to surrounding tissues, relying instead on mechanical resection to minimize bleeding and complications. As a result, the procedure typically offers shorter operating times—averaging 30 to 40 minutes—and faster recovery periods

When your heart suddenly races or skips a beat, it’s tempting to chalk it up to stress or fatigue. But if these episodes recur, they could indicate a more serious condition: arrhythmia, a disorder in which the heart’s electrical signals malfunction, causing it to beat too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or irregularly.According to South Korea’s Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, the number of arrhythmia patients in the country surged from approximately 370,000 in 2018 to over 460,000 in 2022. Notably, the sharpest rise—about 30%—was seen among young people aged 1
