#Treatment Stages

Q I'd like to know in what order Dongjedang treats adenomyosis.

A Treatment proceeds in this order: (1) assess the diagnosis, (2) restore uterine warmth with large moxibustion and deep heat, (3) disperse muscle-layer blood stasis with blood-activating, stasis-resolving formulas in the Gyeji-bokryeong-hwan and Dohong-samul-tang family, (4) recover from blood loss with blood-tonifying and nourishing formulas, and (5) lifestyle management to prevent recurrence.

Detailed Answer

At the first consultation, we assess the depth of blood stasis and the degree of cold in the uterus based on your pain pattern, menstrual volume, presence of anemia, and OB-GYN test results. Next, we use large moxibustion and deep heat treatment to raise the temperature of the uterine muscle layer and begin circulating the congealed blood stasis. The second stage uses blood-activating, stasis-resolving formulas in the Gyeji-bokryeong-hwan (Cinnamon and Poria pill) or Dohong-samul-tang (Peach Kernel and Carthamus Four Substances decoction) family to disperse the blood stasis that has invaded the muscle layer. If there is blood loss from heavy bleeding, we combine blood-tonifying (bohyeol) formulas to address the anemia as well. Once pain and bleeding stabilize, we transition to nourishing formulas that constitutionally improve the chilled uterine environment.

Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective

Because the blood stasis in adenomyosis is lodged in a deeper layer than in endometriosis, treatment can take longer. We proceed carefully through a four-stage flow: warming, dissolving congealed blood, replenishing lost blood, and firming the foundation. Rather than expecting quick results, the Dongjedang approach is to steadily continue, confirming together the gradual improvement with each menstrual cycle.
