Q I'm a housewife in my 50s and have had diarrhea for 6 months since enteritis. Will treatment work at my age?
A Bowel function can recover regardless of age. Even though 6 months have passed, starting now is the fastest way to prevent further chronicity.
Detailed Answer
Post-enteritis sequelae can recover at any age when immune function supports it. Recovery may be somewhat slower after the age of 50, so we focus more on tonifying spleen-stomach function and replenishing qi and blood with tailored treatment. Even symptoms that have persisted for 6 months usually show noticeable improvement within a few months once treatment begins.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Korean medicine is strong at boosting stamina and bowel function simultaneously, so it fits especially well for middle-aged and older patients whose energy has also declined. Even starting now, you can improve substantially.
