Q I've had stomach cramps several times a month for about 2 years. Can I really live pain-free? How long does treatment usually take?
A Even recurring stomach cramps noticeably decrease in frequency and intensity once stomach function recovers. Usually we aim for a state where cramps rarely occur, treating steadily over 1–3 months.
Detailed Answer
Even long-recurring stomach cramps gradually stabilize as the stomach's motility and digestive power revive. Usually within about a month the frequency of cramps begins to drop, and with two to three months of steady management you can expect a state where you barely feel pain in daily life. However, since the cause and course differ from person to person, the duration varies.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
In Korean medicine, repeated acute stomach pain, if left unaddressed, can lead to chronic gastritis or autonomic dysfunction. So at Dongjedang, rather than stopping at symptom relief, we raise the basic vitality of the weakened stomach, setting a recurrence-free interior as the standard of recovery.
