Is this a situation where I need to get ptosis surgery?

Hello~ I am one of those who receive a lot of help with hospital and medical information from Cashdoc.

I don't think it's a condition that warrants a visit to the hospital, but I have a concern, so I'd like to ask for other people's opinions.

 

I've been taking hormone replacement therapy since last year to alleviate menopausal symptoms. They say that as you age, tears keep coming out. But about two months ago, tears started to accumulate at the corners of my eyes, so I've been wiping them away frequently. What does it feel like?

'When you sleep with tears streaming down your face, you feel like there's a foreign body in the corner of your eye because there's eye boogers in it, and you have to wipe it away.'

 

At first, I thought it was dry eyes because I work an office job that involves a lot of computer use, so I tried putting in eye drops, but that was the only thing that worked... I'm starting to wonder if it's a condition that occurs when the corners of the eyes droop. So I looked into ptosis, but I'm not sure, and I haven't been able to go to an ophthalmologist yet because I'm busy. Should I get checked out at the hospital sometime? ㅜㅜ

 

I would like to ask for advice from anyone who has had a similar experience or situation. Thank you.

    사진이 없으니 글만봐서도 정확히 모르지만 현재 상태에서는 성형외과 보다는 안과에 먼저 가서 진료 한번 보세요 눈꼬리쪽 이물감도 많이 있다고 하니 혹시 안과 질환일수도 있으니까요

    갱년기 시기에는 안구 건조증 때문에 역설적으로 눈물이 더 날 수 있다고 하더라고요. 우선 안과에서 눈물샘 정밀 검사를 먼저 받아보시고 수술 여부를 결정하시는 게 좋을 것 같아요!

    눈가에 이물감과 눈물이 고이는 증상으로 힘드실거 같아요. 
    눈꺼풀이 처지면서 눈가를 자극해서 일수 있어요 
    눈물이 배출되는 통로가 좁아져 있을 경우  그런 불편감이 생길 수 있으니 안과검진 받아보세요 
    눈꺼풀 속눈썹이 눈을 찌르는 안검내반증 증상일 경우 안과에서 치료받으시면 괜찮아질 수 있어요
