The Nation's First Female Urologist, Wins Again at Musclemania Competition

4th Place in Senior Category... Second Award Since 2021
"It Will Be a Good Stimulus for Patients Needing Exercise"

A university hospital professor, who was recognized as the first female urology specialist in Korea, has once again gained attention by placing in the country's top fitness competition following her success in 2021.

According to Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital on the 16th, Professor Yoon Hana of the Department of Urology competed in the senior division of the '2023 MaxQ Musclemania Fitness Korea Championship' held at Gwangmyeong Ibex Studio and placed 4th.

Professor Yoon previously attracted attention by winning medals in two categories?Sports Model Open Short and Senior Model?at the same competition in 2021.

Her achievement is especially meaningful as she, a physician treating patients, overcame hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, pre-metabolic syndrome, and disc problems, as well as the yo-yo effect.

Professor Yoon said, "I started Pilates and weight training as a challenge to step out of my comfort zone and aimed to build and maintain a healthier body than in the 2021 competition," adding, "I am happy to protect my health through participating in the Musclemania competition and to provide good motivation to patients who need exercise."

Previously, Professor Yoon gained attention in 1999 as Korea's first female urology specialist. She has continued efforts to combine exercise with urological treatment by holding 'Strong Bladder' Pilates classes in the local community and planning urinary health camps.
