Q I'm in early pregnancy with severe morning sickness and gastritis symptoms too. Can I get treatment during pregnancy?
A During pregnancy, safety comes first. Please tell us you're pregnant first; we guide mainly through lifestyle management, and when treatment is needed, we proceed cautiously only within a range safe for pregnant women.
Detailed Answer
In early pregnancy, the stomach lining often becomes sensitive due to hormonal changes, and morning sickness and gastritis symptoms commonly overlap. We first guide safe lifestyle management such as eating small amounts frequently and avoiding lying down or irritating foods. When medication or treatment is needed, we proceed carefully only within a range confirmed safe for pregnant women.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
You must tell us about your pregnancy before treatment. Placing the safety of mother and baby foremost, we help mainly with safe management and acupuncture rather than aggressive prescriptions, approaching gently in a direction that manages morning sickness and gastritis together.
