Q What are the stages of treating abnormal bleeding with Korean medicine? Do I just take herbal medicine from the start?
A It usually proceeds in three stages: stopping bleeding and stabilizing qi and blood, restoring uterine circulation (warming the uterus and invigorating blood), and reinforcing qi and blood (tonifying yang). Acupuncture and herbal medicine are combined, and the visit schedule is adjusted according to progress.
Detailed Answer
The first stage stabilizes the bleeding and replenishes qi and blood to put the uterine environment in order. In the second stage, we switch to prescriptions that improve uterine circulation and disperse blood stasis and waste. The third stage reinforces ovarian function and Kidney (sin) energy to finish by helping hormonal balance be maintained. The timing of moving between stages is decided by monitoring symptom progress and examination findings.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
The three steps of warming the uterus (ongung), invigorating blood (hwalhyeol), and tonifying yang (boyang) are the core treatment structure of the Dongjedang women's clinic. Because a stable uterine environment without recurrence is created only by faithfully going through each stage, we advise patients not to stop treatment early just because the symptoms have disappeared.
