Q I'm looking for a Korean medicine clinic for adenomyosis near Dongincheon in Incheon. How long does treatment take and how does it proceed?
A Treatment usually proceeds with acupuncture and large moxibustion 1 to 2 times a week, along with herbal medicine taken daily. We focus on intensive management for the first 2 to 3 months, then adjust the cycle based on how stable your symptoms are. If you bring your OB-GYN test results and a list of your current medications, a more accurate plan is possible.
Detailed Answer
Adenomyosis is a chronic condition that is hard to resolve in a short time, so a steady management plan is important. In the early stage, you visit 1 to 2 times a week for acupuncture and large moxibustion (deep heat) treatment, while taking prescribed herbal medicine daily at home. We schedule treatment more densely around the period when pain is concentrated, and lengthen the intervals as symptoms stabilize. We periodically check changes in uterine size, anemia levels, and pain intensity to track treatment effects together. If you note down your OB-GYN ultrasound report, the names of any hormone medications and iron supplements you are taking, and your menstrual pattern over the past 3 months, the direction can be set quickly at your first visit.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
We adjust your visit schedule realistically so you can come conveniently from Dong-gu, Incheon. The week before your period, we operate flexibly by moving up or adding treatments to prevent pain. If you bring a brief note of your pain intensity and bleeding amount during treatment, it greatly helps with adjusting the herbal prescription.
