Q I'm visiting a Korean medicine clinic in Dong-gu, Incheon for the first time for amenorrhea. What should I prepare before my first visit?
A It greatly helps with an accurate consultation if you organize your last menstrual date, when your period stopped, the weight, stress, and dietary changes around that time, any medications or hormones you're taking, and your OB-GYN test results (ultrasound, blood tests).
Detailed Answer
Please make a brief note of your last menstrual date and any cycle changes afterward, as well as weight changes, dietary changes, and stress circumstances around the time your period stopped. If you are taking any birth control pills, hormones, or thyroid medications, prepare the medication names as well. If you have already had FSH, LH, or prolactin blood tests or a pelvic ultrasound at an OB-GYN, bringing those results allows us to identify the cause far more precisely and set the treatment direction.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
This information also serves as a key clue for the clinic in determining which aspect of the body (Qi-Blood deficiency, Blood stasis, or stress type) is the primary cause. Even if you are visiting for the first time from Dong-gu, Incheon or the Dongincheon area, we thoroughly assess your situation at the first consultation and design a treatment plan together.
