The object of this research was to examine closely through the document about how much important location Sanhoopoong had and how it influences in the women's health. In addition to that, from the result of this research. I would like to contribute to korean nursing theory development and korean traditional nursing. Sanhoopoong is only the pain of women, come out to whom experienced delivery and abortion and especially it is an important cultural disease to Korean women. This is, once be taken ill, even reputed doctors cannot cure, so this make women suffer from pain, fall ill, decrease the quality of women's life, and it is appealed by women constantly, and is just made known by traditionally. The cause of Sanhoopoong has not been recognized medically The disease is not included in the disease classification. Thus, Sanhoopoong has no special pathological cause, and because it is the desease when be not taken care after childbirth, so this is able to be prevented and relieved sufficiently. But Sanhoopoong is the important health matter to dominate women's whole life's health. It has to be researched and lightened quikly. We have to help the women to get out of the difficulties from the pain of Sanhoopoong as soon as possible.
