There are women who suffer from metrorrhagia (uterine bleeding) in old age. Their symptoms are the same as those of metrorrhagia accompanied by dizziness and faintness mentioned earlier. People attribute it to the deficiency of elderly women, but who would know that it is actually caused by imprudent sexual intercourse!
The prescription used is Modified Danggui Buxue Decoction (Cinnamon Twig and Astragalus Decoction).
Danggui Radix Angelicae Sinensis (one tael, washed with wine), Huangqi Radix Astragali Membranacei (one tael, used raw), Sanqi Rhizoma Notoginseng powder (three qian), Sangye Folium Mori (fourteen leaves).
Decoct in water and take orally. After two doses, the bleeding decreases and stops; after four doses, it does not recur. However, one must abstain from sexual desire to eradicate the root cause. If sexual indulgence is resumed, the condition will inevitably worsen. Danggui Buxue Decoction is a miraculous agent for tonifying both Qi and Blood. Sanqi Rhizoma Notoginseng is a holy medicine for stopping bleeding. The addition of Sangye Folium Mori serves to nourish Kidney Yin and possesses astringent properties. Nevertheless, since the Yin essence of an elderly woman is already depleted, using this formula to stop temporary leakage indeed yields remarkable effects, but one cannot expect permanent results because the ingredients for tonifying essence are insufficient. After taking these four doses, add:
Baizhu Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae (five qian), Shudihuang Radix Rehmanniae Preparata (one tael), Shanyao Rhizoma Dioscoreae Oppositae (four qian), Maidong Radix Ophiopogonis (three qian), Beiwuzi Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis (one qian).
Taking one hundred doses can completely eradicate the root of metrorrhagia and leukorrhea.
Commentary: There are also widows suffering from metrorrhagia in old age, which must be due to Qi rushing into the Blood Chamber. Add Hangshao Radix Paeoniae Rubra carbonized (three qian) and Guanzhong Herba Cyathiulae (three qian) to the original prescription for excellent efficacy.
Rhyme:
Metrorrhagia in old women follows the previous pattern,
Caused by imprudent sexual conduct.
Only by abstaining from desire can the root be removed,
Resuming lust makes recovery difficult.
Modified Danggui Buxue Decoction uses Danggui, Huangqi, Sanqi, and Sangye.
After four doses, add Maidong, Shudihuang, Baizhu, Shanyao, and Wuzhi.
Young women who have just conceived for three months may suffer from metrorrhagia, causing the second fetus to abort. People attribute this to physical trauma or strain, but who would know it is the fault of imprudent sexual intercourse during pregnancy! The treatment method should naturally focus on tonifying Qi, with a slight adjunct of blood-tonifying herbs, which is appropriate.
The prescription used is Guqi Tang (Qi-Securing Decoction).
Renshen Radix Ginseng (one tael), Baizhu Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae (five qian, stir-fried with soil), Da Shudihuang Radix Rehmanniae Preparata (five qian, steamed nine times), Danggui Radix Angelicae Sinensis (three qian, washed with wine), BaiFuling Poria (two qian), Gancao Radix Glycyrrhizae Uralensis (one qian), Duzhong Cortex Eucommiae (three qian, stir-fried until black), Shanyurou Fructus Corni Officinalis (two qian, steamed), Yuanzhi Radix Polygalae (one qian, heart removed), Wuzizi Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis (ten grains, stir-fried).
Decoct in water and take orally. Bleeding stops after one dose; continuous use for ten doses leads to complete recovery. This formula secures Qi while simultaneously tonifying Blood. Lost blood can regenerate quickly, and impending loss of blood can be fully retained. For any metrorrhagia caused by Qi deficiency, this formula is most suitable for general treatment, not merely for metrorrhagia following spontaneous abortion. Its most ingenious aspect lies in not directly stopping bleeding, but embedding hemostatic herbs within the Qi-tonifying framework.
Commentary: Sexual activity should be avoided during pregnancy. If not avoided, even if miscarriage is luckily prevented, it often leads to abortion; even if the fetus is not aborted, the child born may be difficult to raise. Be cautious! Beware!
Rhyme:
Metrorrhagia occurs in the third month of pregnancy, mostly due to imprudent sexual conduct.
Use Guqi Tang (Qi-Securing Decoction); hemostasis is embedded within Qi tonification.
Guqi Tang contains Renshen, Baizhu, and Fuling; Shudihuang, Danggui, and stir-fried Duzhong.
Gancao, Yuanzhi, and Wuzizi, plus Shanyurou can stop metrorrhagia.
