Q I'm pregnant and my belly is so bloated with severe gas that I can't even sleep. Can I receive oriental medicine treatment?
A During pregnancy, safety comes first. Please inform us of your pregnancy first; we focus on lifestyle management and proceed with treatment cautiously only within a range that is safe for pregnant women.
Detailed Answer
During pregnancy, hormonal changes and pressure from the enlarged uterus slow bowel movement, so gas and bloating commonly worsen. We first advise safe lifestyle management such as meal portions, meal frequency, and posture, and when medication or treatment is needed, we proceed carefully only within a range confirmed to be safe for pregnant women.
Oriental Medicine Clinic Perspective
You must inform us of your pregnancy before the consultation. We put the safety of mother and fetus first and help mainly through safe management rather than aggressive prescriptions.
