Q I am pregnant again. Should I go to the Korean medicine clinic as soon as pregnancy is confirmed? How does treatment proceed?
A If you have a history of recurrent miscarriage, it helps to inform the Korean medicine clinic and start pregnancy-securing treatment as soon as pregnancy is confirmed. The aim is to reinforce Kidney deficiency and maintain the uterine lining in early pregnancy, proceeding stepwise alongside obstetric confirmation of stability.
Detailed Answer
If you have a history of recurrent miscarriage, it is practically helpful to inform the Korean medicine clinic and begin pregnancy-securing treatment as soon as pregnancy is confirmed. Early pregnancy (weeks 4-8) is the period of highest risk of spontaneous miscarriage, so during this time we carry out a pregnancy-securing prescription that stabilizes the Chong and Ren meridians and replenishes Kidney deficiency to hold the fetus. However, we continue treatment only after the obstetrician first confirms stability, such as fetal heartbeat.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, from immediately after pregnancy is confirmed we switch to pregnancy-securing treatment, focusing on maintaining blood flow in the uterine lining together with Kidney-tonifying, pregnancy-securing prescriptions. We monitor progress in close communication with the obstetrics-gynecology clinic through weeks 8-12, and we also regard easing anxious feelings as an important pillar of treatment.
