妇人有每行人道,经水即来,一如血崩,人以为胞胎有伤,触之以动其血也,谁知是子宫血海因太热而不固乎!
夫子宫即在胞胎之下,而血海又在胞胎之上。血海者,冲脉也。冲脉太寒而血即亏,冲脉太热而血即沸,血崩之为
病,正冲脉之太热也。然既由冲脉之热,则应常崩而无有止时,何以行人道而始来,果与肝木无恙耶?夫脾健则能
摄血,肝平则能藏血。人未入房之时,君相二火,寂然不动,虽冲脉独热,而血亦不至外驰。及有人道之感,则子
宫大开,吾相火动,以热招热,同气相求,翕然齐动,以鼓其精房,血海泛滥,有不能止遏之势,肝欲藏之而不能,
脾欲摄之而不得,故经水随交感而至,若有声应之捷,是惟火之为病也。治法必须滋阴降火,以清血海而和子宫,
则终身之病,可半载而除矣。然必绝欲三月而后可。
方用清海丸。
大熟地(一斤,九蒸) 山萸(十两,蒸) 山药(十两,炒) 丹皮(十两) 北五味(二两,炒) 麦冬肉(十
两) 白术(一斤,土炒) 白芍(一斤,酒炒) 龙骨(二两) 地骨皮(十两) 干桑叶(一斤) 元参(一斤) 沙
参(十两) 石斛(十两)
上十四味,各为细末,合一处,炼蜜丸桐子大,早晚每服五钱,白滚水送下,半载全愈。此方补阴而无浮动之
虑,缩血而无寒凉之苦,日计不足,月计有余,潜移默夺,子宫清凉,而血海自固。倘不揣其本而齐其末,徒以发灰、
白矾、黄连炭、五倍子等药末,以外治其幽隐之处,则恐愈涩而愈流,终必至于败亡也。可不慎与!
眉批∶凡血崩症,最宜绝欲避房,无奈少年人彼此贪欲,故服药往往不效。若三月后崩止病愈,而房事仍无
节制,病必复作,久则成劳。慎之!
歌括∶血海大热致血崩,君相二火翕然动。
肝不能藏脾难摄,滋阴降火法最灵。

In women, there are cases where menstruation begins immediately upon sexual intercourse, resembling a sudden severe hemorrhage (blood flooding). People assume that the uterus and ovaries have been injured, and the bleeding is triggered by the act of intercourse. However, who would know that this is actually due to the uterus and Blood Sea being excessively hot and thus failing to maintain stability?
The uterus is located below the uterus-ovaries complex, while the Blood Sea is located above it. The Blood Sea refers to the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel). If the Chong Mai is too cold, blood will be deficient; if the Chong Mai is too hot, blood will boil and rush recklessly. The disease of sudden severe hemorrhage (blood flooding) is precisely caused by excessive heat in the Chong Mai. However, since the cause is heat in the Chong Mai, one might expect continuous bleeding without cessation. Why does it only start when sexual intercourse occurs? Is the Liver Wood unaffected? When the Spleen is healthy, it can control blood; when the Liver is balanced, it can store blood. Before entering into sexual activity, the Ministerial Fire (Xiang Huo) and Sovereign Fire (Jun Huo) remain quiet and still. Although the Chong Mai alone may be hot, the blood does not rush outward. Once the stimulus of sexual intercourse arises, the uterus opens wide, the Ministerial Fire moves, attracting heat with heat, seeking similarity with similarity, stirring up together to agitate the essence chamber. This causes the Blood Sea to overflow with an unstoppable momentum. The Liver desires to store blood but cannot; the Spleen desires to control blood but fails. Therefore, menstrual blood arrives following the stimulation, responding as swiftly as an echo. This is solely a disease caused by Fire. The treatment method must involve nourishing Yin and descending Fire, to clear the Blood Sea and harmonize the uterus. Then, a lifelong ailment can be cured within half a year. However, abstinence from sexual desire for three months is mandatory before proceeding.
Prescribe Qing Hai Wan (Clear the Sea Pill).
Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, 1 jin, steamed nine times), Shan Zhu Yu (Corni Fructus, 10 liang, steamed), Shan Yao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma, 10 liang, stir-fried), Mu Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex, 10 liang), Bei Wu Wei Zi (Schisandrae Fructus, 2 liang, stir-fried), Mai Dong Rou (Ophiopogonis Tuber, 10 liang), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 1 jin, stir-fried with earth), Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 1 jin, stir-fried with wine), Long Gu (Fossilia Ossis Mastodi, 2 liang), Di Gu Pi (Lycii Cortex, 10 liang), Gan Sang Ye (Mori Folium, 1 jin), Xuan Shen (Scrophulariae Radix, 1 jin), Sha Shen (Glehniae Radix or Adenophorae Radix, 10 liang), Shi Hu (Dendrobii Caulis, 10 liang).
These fourteen herbs are each ground into fine powder, mixed together, and formed into pills the size of paulownia seeds using refined honey. Take five qian morning and evening, washed down with plain boiled water. Full recovery will occur within half a year. This formula tonifies Yin without causing floating Yang, and astringes blood without the bitterness of cold-natured drugs. Day by day it seems insufficient, but month by month the surplus accumulates. It subtly transforms and seizes the pathogen, cooling the uterus so that the Blood Sea naturally stabilizes. If one does not investigate the root and merely treats the branch, using only powders such as ash from hair, alum, charcoalized Coptidis Rhizoma, and Chinese gall to treat the hidden areas externally, fear that the more astringent it becomes, the more it flows, ultimately leading to ruin. Can one not be cautious!
Marginal Note: In cases of sudden severe hemorrhage (blood flooding), it is most suitable to abstain from sex and avoid the bedroom. Unfortunately, young people are often greedy for desire, so medication often fails. If after three months the flooding stops and the illness heals, but sexual activity remains unregulated, the illness will surely recur. Over time, it will become consumptive disease (Lao). Be careful!
