Q I'm a 50-year-old homemaker living in Dong-gu, Incheon. I'd like to visit Dongjedang for menopausal weight management — what is the process like on the first visit?
A On your first visit, a consultation reviews your weight history, eating habits, menopausal symptoms (heat rising, swelling, sleep, etc.), and current medications, along with a pulse check and body assessment to look at the cause together. The management direction is set based on the results. It is convenient to visit after making an appointment.
Detailed Answer
On your first visit, we do not jump straight to a prescription but start with a thorough consultation. We check together when and how the weight increased, your eating, sleep, and activity habits, menopausal symptoms like heat rising and swelling, and any medications you take. If needed, we assess your body condition to clarify the cause, then discuss and set a management direction suited to you.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Dongjedang, based in Dong-gu, Incheon, views menopausal weight change as a different combination of circulation, heat rising, and swelling for each person. Through pulse-taking and consultation, we first read where your suppression lies, then set a direction together to clear accumulated excess and revive metabolism. Feel free to ask any questions during the consultation.
