We recommend 2 to 3 months for menstrual pain and irregular periods, 3 to 6 months for menopause, and 3 to 6 months or more for fertility care. The prescription is adjusted to constitution and symptoms, and we advise on treatment length as we follow the response.

Q. I have polycystic ovary syndrome — does herbal medicine help?

A.

Several related studies have been reported. We look at weight and insulin alongside.

📝 Detailed Answer

A cross-sectional study on the effect of herbal medicine treatment on insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, a randomised controlled trial on the ovulation-inducing effect of electroacupuncture, and an expert consensus study for establishing Korean medicine treatment guidelines, have been reported.

Weight and insulin resistance are often entangled, so we do not look at the menstrual cycle alone but at that part together. There is also a study combining herbal medicine treatment with lifestyle correction in obese women with menstrual irregularity.

If you are taking any medication, please tell us. Do not stop it on your own, and if you have blood test results please bring them.
