Q What is the visit interval during constipation treatment?
A Visits every 2-3 weeks early on, adjusted to once a month once stable.
Detailed Answer
In the early treatment phase (first month), visits are every 2-3 weeks to fine-tune the prescription. Once bowel frequency normalizes, we switch to a once-a-month maintenance prescription. In case of sudden worsening of constipation or pain, unscheduled visits are also possible.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we recommend that caregivers continue keeping the bowel diary between visits. At the next visit, we accurately evaluate the prescription's effect based on the data.
