Q What should I prepare before the consultation?
A If you organize the timing of your last period, which symptoms are severe and when, the medications you are taking, and any hormone or bone-density test results you have received, the visit will be faster and more accurate.
Detailed Answer
It greatly helps if you make notes on when your last period was, which is hardest among hot flashes, insomnia, and mood changes, and at what time of day it worsens. If you have any hormone drugs or supplements you are currently taking, or recent hormone or bone-density test results, bringing them along allows for a more accurate consultation.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Such records become clues for reading the changes in the body and the state of Yin-Yang balance hidden behind the symptoms. The more thoroughly you prepare, the more precisely we can grasp your constitution and symptoms at the first visit and quickly set a treatment direction suited to you.
