Results: During hospitalization period, the symptoms including dizziness, fatigue, headache, neck pain, abdominal pain were reduced. After discharging, we identified that the level of hemoglobin was normalized. Conclusions: To recover from posthysterectomy syndrome, Korean medicine treatment is considered to be effective.
