Q I work in Dongincheon and find it hard to come often. How frequently is treatment for uterine fibroids or polycystic ovary syndrome usually needed?
A You do not need to come every day. Treatment usually proceeds with acupuncture and moxibustion once or twice a week and daily herbal medicine, and if you visit at key points aligned with your menstrual cycle, the burden is small.
Detailed Answer
Korean medicine treatment for uterine and ovarian conditions has the characteristic of being linked to the menstrual cycle, so treatment is often arranged at key points of the cycle rather than requiring daily visits. Typically, you visit once or twice a week for acupuncture and moxibustion and steadily take the prescribed herbal medicine at home, so even those who find it hard to make time because of work can receive treatment while maintaining their daily life. The exact interval is decided together at your first appointment based on the severity and cause of symptoms and your response to treatment.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
What matters is consistency rather than the number of visits. At Dongjedang, we design a realistic, sustainable treatment plan that takes your work schedule into account, and we provide guidance considering the commuting routes of those traveling from the Dong-gu and Dongincheon area of Incheon.
