Q When I first come to the clinic, in what order does treatment proceed?
A At the first visit, we review symptoms, medication history, and CT findings together and perform pattern differentiation (辨證). Based on this, we establish a plan for anti-inflammatory, stasis-resolving, immune-regulating herbal prescriptions and acupuncture, and adjust the prescription after seeing the response in 2–4 weeks.
Detailed Answer
At the first visit, we carefully identify the nature, frequency, and meal relationship of abdominal pain, weight changes, and existing test results (CT, blood). After examination, we make a pattern differentiation such as qi stagnation (氣滞), blood stasis (瘀血), or deficiency (虛證), and guide the corresponding herbal and acupuncture schedule. We evaluate the response in 2–4 week cycles, checking for pain reduction and physical recovery while finely adjusting the prescription.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Since chronic mesenteritis is a long-term management disease, we set immune balance and maintaining physical strength as long-term goals rather than short-term symptom relief. We coordinate the imaging follow-up schedule like CT with the Korean medicine treatment cycle to create an integrated management plan.
