Q I work and find it hard to come often. How frequently do I need constipation treatment?
A Usually it proceeds with acupuncture 1–2 times a week and daily herbal medicine. It is not a treatment that requires daily visits, so even busy workers can receive it while keeping their daily life.
Detailed Answer
The treatment cycle is set according to symptom severity and life circumstances. Generally, you visit 1–2 times a week for acupuncture and abdominal examination, and at home you consistently take the prescribed herbal medicine. As symptoms stabilize, we extend the interval to biweekly or once a month.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
What matters more than visit frequency is consistency. Since constipation is closely tied to life rhythm, we design a treatment plan together that can realistically be kept according to the patient's schedule.
