#Safety

Q I'm told I need to take herbal medicine for a long time for adenomyosis. Is there any burden on the body? Could it affect my liver or kidneys?

A Properly prescribed herbal medicine meets safety standards, and with regular liver and kidney function monitoring during long-term use, it can be managed safely in most cases. Adding health supplements or other herbal medicines on your own carries a risk of interactions, so you must let us know.

Detailed Answer

Herbal medicine prescribed by a Korean medicine doctor to match your constitution and symptoms uses raw materials that meet domestic pharmacopoeia standards, and herbs requiring toxicity caution are excluded from the start. With any medication, long-term use requires monitoring of liver function (AST, ALT) and kidney function (creatinine), and it is safe to combine blood tests if taking it for more than 3 months. If you are separately taking health supplements, herbs, or Western medications, there is a possibility of interactions, so please be sure to tell us during your consultation. If you usually have high liver values or reduced kidney function, you must mention it at your first visit.

Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective

The more a condition requires long-term management, like adenomyosis, the more we adjust the prescription in stages. In the early stage we focus on blood-activating, stasis-resolving treatment, and once symptoms stabilize, we transition to a tonifying stage that constitutionally changes the uterine environment, so it continues without strain. If anything worries you, tell us honestly and we will set the timing of blood tests together.
