The patient told me this:
"You know, these days... is it called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome? A lot of young people have it. They just get prescribed birth control pills for it, but shouldn't it be treatable with Korean medicine?"

The patient mentioned that she had told her acquaintances, "You can just go to a Korean medicine clinic, why give them birth control pills?" The response she got back was that it was 'convenient to take, and because the children take the medication well, they just get the prescription.' The patient expressed her frustration, wondering why people don't seek Korean medical treatment when it is so effective for menstrual issues.

In reality, this patient and her children have great faith in Korean medical treatment because they have seen significant results by visiting us for treatment whenever their menstrual cycles become even slightly irregular. I, too, meet many people in my practice who have improved through Korean medical treatment. It is deeply saddening that so many people believe that taking birth control pills is the only way to manage Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
