Q Is remote consultation possible too?
A If your condition is stable, you can start questioning and consultation remotely. However, accurate diagnosis and herbal prescription require an in-person visit, and if you have severe abdominal pain, bloody stool, or weight loss, we recommend an in-person examination first.
Detailed Answer
If your condition is stable and there are no emergency signs, we can start basic consultation remotely by listening to your symptoms and lifestyle patterns. This lets us understand your condition in advance and save time before your first visit. However, since there are aspects that require direct examination such as pulse and abdominal palpation, an in-person visit is recommended for accurate diagnosis and prescription.
Oriental Medicine Clinic Perspective
If severe abdominal pain arises suddenly, or if it is accompanied by bloody or black stool or clear weight loss, we recommend getting an evaluation at a nearby medical institution first to rule out other diseases. It is advisable to continue oriental medicine treatment after safety is confirmed.
