Q During Korean medicine treatment for PCOS, what symptoms mean I should go to a hospital first?
A If you have had no period for more than six months, sudden abnormal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, or sudden weight gain, visit an OB-GYN first. With such symptoms, it is necessary to first confirm whether it is okay to continue Korean medicine treatment alongside.
Detailed Answer
Absence of menstruation for more than six months requires checking the condition of the endometrium. Sudden abnormal bleeding may be a sign of endometrial hyperplasia or another uterine abnormality. If an ovarian cyst grows rapidly there is a risk of rupture, so if abdominal pain worsens, emergency care is needed.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Korean medicine treatment and OB-GYN care proceed in a mutually complementary way. At the clinic, if warning symptoms arise during treatment, we immediately guide you to an OB-GYN referral. For safe treatment, please share all medications you are taking and your test results.
