Q What is checked at the first visit, and how does it proceed?
A At the first visit we ask in detail since when and in what situations symptoms worsen, and about your overall lifestyle—diet, sleep, stress—and examine you. Based on this, through constitutional diagnosis and pattern differentiation, we set the herbal prescription and treatment plan together.
Detailed Answer
On your first visit, we thoroughly grasp your symptom pattern (pain location, diarrhea frequency, stool state), diet/sleep/stress situation, and any prior test results. If needed, we also reference previous colonoscopy results or blood test values. Through Sasang constitutional diagnosis, we also confirm the organ characteristics by constitution.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Even with the same chronic enteritis, the prescription differs if cold-heat-deficiency-excess and constitution differ. At the first visit we grasp those differences fully and set a plan tailored to the root cause, not merely suppressing symptoms.
