Objectives: The purpose of this review is to analyze the domestic study trends on complications of post-hysterectomy treated with Korean medicine. Methods: We investigated the studies on Korean medicine treatment for complications of post-hysterectomy via searching 4 online databases up to October 2020. After searching studies, we analyzed selected studies. Results: 12 clinical studies were selected and all studies were case reports. The most common cause of hysterectomy was myoma of uterine, followd by adenomyosis. The major complaints of post-hysterectomy were abdominal pain, low back pain and fatigue, general weakness. Herbal medicine was used in all studies. In addition, acupuncture, moxibustion and cupping were performed. The duration of inpatient treatment ranged from 5 to 39 days. All cases showed that chief complaints and accompanying symptoms were improved. Conclusions: Korean medicine treatment is an effective treatment option for complications of post-hysterectomy. Further large, well-designed studies are needed to establish the foundation of Korean medicine treatment after hysterectomy.
