Q How does Korean medicine treatment for precocious puberty and childhood obesity proceed?
A Treatment follows four stages: constitution assessment — heat-regulating prescription — Spleen-Stomach normalization — lifestyle correction.
Detailed Answer
Stage 1: Constitutional diagnosis to assess the degree of Kidney Yin deficiency and Spleen-Stomach Dampness-Heat. Stage 2: Initiation of a Jibak-jihwang-tang-based prescription to clear excess heat. Stage 3: Restoration of Spleen-Stomach function to balance weight and growth rate. Stage 4: Concurrent dietary, sleep, and exercise lifestyle correction to prevent recurrence. A baseline treatment period of 6–12 months is established.
