Q I live in Dong-gu, Incheon, and I'd like to try postpartum care. What is the order of the consultation when I first visit?
A At Dongjedang Korean Medicine Clinic in Dong-gu, Incheon, on your first visit we listen in detail about your delivery timing, breastfeeding, and lifestyle, examine your pulse and body condition, and then decide the care direction together according to your recovery. If you are breastfeeding, we consult with safety first.
Detailed Answer
Because postpartum care's direction varies greatly depending on individual recovery, thorough consultation is important at first. After checking your delivery timing and method, whether you breastfeed, your sleep, meals, and activity, changes in swelling and weight, and any medications you take, we examine your body to determine whether the care puts any strain on your body right now. Based on this, we discuss whether recovery comes first or whether it's a time to pursue weight loss together, and set a plan.

If you are breastfeeding, we put safety first.
