Q Is a remote (online) consultation possible?
A If your condition is stable, we can begin intake questioning and consultation remotely. However, accurate diagnosis and herbal prescription require an in-person visit, and if there is blood in the stool, weight loss, or severe abdominal pain, we recommend in-person examination first.
Detailed Answer
If your condition is stable and there are no warning signs, we can hear about your diarrhea pattern and lifestyle and begin a basic consultation remotely. This lets us understand your condition in advance and save time before your first visit. However, since some parts require direct examination such as pulse and abdominal palpation, a visit is recommended for accurate diagnosis and prescription.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
If there is blood in the stool, weight loss, or severe abdominal pain, we recommend getting tested at a nearby medical facility first to rule out organic disease. It is advisable to continue Korean medicine treatment after safety has been confirmed.
