治妇女阴挺，亦治肝气虚弱，郁结不舒。
生黄 （六钱） 当归（三钱） 知母（三钱） 柴胡（一钱五分） 生明乳香（三钱） 生明没药
（三钱） 川芎（一钱五分）
肝主筋，肝脉络阴器，肝又为肾行气。阴挺自阴中挺出，形状类筋之所结。病之原因，为肝气郁而下陷
无疑也。故方中黄 与柴胡、芎 并用，补肝即以舒肝，而肝气之陷者可升。当归与乳香、没药并用，养肝即
以调肝，而肝气之郁者可化。又恐黄 性热，与肝中所寄之相火不宜，故又加知母之凉润者，以解其热也。
一妇人，年三十余。患此证，用陈氏《女科要旨》，治阴挺方，治之不效。因忆《傅青主女科》有治阴
挺之方，其证得之产后。因平时过怒伤肝，产时又努力太过，自产门下坠一片，似筋非筋，似肉非肉，用升补
肝气之药，其证可愈。遂师其意，为制此汤服之。数剂即见消，十剂全愈。
一室女，年十五。因胸中大气下陷，二便常觉下坠，而小便尤甚。乃误认为小便不通，努力强便，阴中
忽坠下一物，其形如桃，微露其尖，牵引腰际下坠作疼，夜间尤甚，剧时号呼不止。投以理郁升陷汤，将升麻
加倍，二剂疼止，十剂后，其物全消。盖理郁升陷汤，原与升肝舒郁汤相似也。
治室女月闭血枯，饮食减少，灼热咳嗽。
白术（三钱，炒） 生怀山药（一两） 生鸡内金（二钱，黄色的） 龙眼肉（六钱） 山萸肉（四钱，去净核）
枸杞果（四钱） 玄参（三钱） 生杭芍（三钱） 桃仁（二钱） 红花（钱半） 甘草（二钱）
灼热不退者，加生地黄六钱或至一两。咳嗽者，加川贝母三钱，米壳二钱（嗽止去之）。泄泻者，去玄参，
加熟地黄一两，云苓片二钱，或更酌将白术加重。服后泻仍不止者，可于服药之外，用生怀山药细末煮粥，搀
入捻碎熟鸡子黄数枚，用作点心，日服两次，泻止后停服。大便干燥者，加当归、阿胶各数钱。小便不利者，
加生车前子三钱（装袋），地肤子二钱或将芍药（善治阴虚小便不利）加重。肝气郁者，加生麦芽三钱，川芎、
莪术各一钱。汗多者，将萸肉改用六钱，再加生龙骨、生牡蛎各六钱。
《内经》谓“二阳之病发心脾，有不得隐曲，在女子为不月。”夫二阳者，阳明胃腑也。胃腑有病，不
能消化饮食，推其病之所发，在于心脾。又推其心脾病之所发，在于有不得隐曲（凡不能自如者皆为不得隐曲）。
盖心主神脾主思，人有不得隐曲，其神思郁结，胃腑必减少酸汁（化食赖酸汁，欢喜则酸汁生者多，忧思则酸
汁生者少），不能消化饮食，以生血液，所以在女子为不月也。夫女子不月，既由于胃腑有病，不能消化饮食。
治之者，自当调其脾胃，使之多进饮食，以为生血之根本。故方中用白术以健胃之阳，使之 动有力（饮食之
消亦仗胃有 动）。山药、龙眼肉，以滋胃之阴，俾其酸汁多生。鸡内金原含有酸汁，且能运化诸补药之力，
使之补而不滞。血虚者必多灼热，故用玄参、芍药以退热。又血虚者，其肝肾必虚，故用萸肉、枸杞以补其肝
肾。甘草为补脾胃之正药，与方中萸肉并用，更有酸甘
化阴之妙。桃仁、红花为破血之要品，方中少用之，非取其破血，欲借之以活血脉通经络也。至方后附载，因
证加减诸药，不过粗陈梗概，至于证之更改多端，尤贵临证者，因时制宜耳。

To treat prolapse of the uterus (Yin Ting) in women, and also applicable to conditions of Liver Qi deficiency with stagnation and lack of free flow.
Sheng Huangqi (Raw Astragali Radix, 6 qian) Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 3 qian) Zhi Mu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, 3 qian) Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix, 1.5 qian) Sheng Ming Ruxiang (Raw Frankincense, 3 qian) Sheng Ming Moyao (Raw Myrrh, 3 qian) Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma, 1.5 qian)
The Liver governs the sinews, its collaterals connect to the external genitalia, and it facilitates the movement of Qi for the Kidneys. Prolapse of the uterus protrudes from the vagina, resembling a knot of sinews. The cause of this disease is undoubtedly Liver Qi stagnation sinking downward. Therefore, in the formula, Huangqi is used together with Chaihu and Chuanxiong; tonifying the Liver serves to soothe the Liver, thereby raising the sinking Liver Qi. Danggui is used together with Ruxiang and Moyao; nourishing the Liver serves to regulate the Liver, thereby resolving the stagnant Liver Qi. Furthermore, fearing that the warm nature of Huangqi might be unsuitable for the Minister Fire (Xiang Huo, physiological fire) residing in the Liver, Zhi Mu’s cool and moistening properties are added to dissipate the heat.
A woman in her thirties suffered from this condition. She had previously used a formula for uterine prolapse from Chen’s *Nuke Yaozhi* (Essentials of Gynecology), but it was ineffective. Recalling that *Fu Qingzhu Nuke* (Fu Qingzhu’s Gynecology) contains a formula for postpartum uterine prolapse caused by excessive anger damaging the Liver and excessive straining during childbirth, resulting in a tissue protruding from the birth canal that resembles neither sinew nor flesh, she realized that using herbs to raise and tonify Liver Qi could cure it. Following this principle, I prepared this decoction for her. After several doses, the symptoms subsided; after ten doses, she was completely cured.
A fifteen-year-old unmarried girl suffered from sinking of the Great Qi in the chest, causing a sensation of heaviness and prolapse in both urination and defecation, particularly severe in urination. Misdiagnosed as urinary retention, she strained excessively to urinate, causing an object suddenly to prolapse from the vagina, shaped like a peach with a slight tip exposed, pulling down on the waist with pain, worse at night, so severe that she cried out incessantly. I administered Li Yu Sheng Xian Tang (Soothe Stagnation and Raise Sinking Decoction), doubling the dosage of Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma). Pain ceased after two doses, and the prolapsed object disappeared completely after ten doses. This is because Li Yu Sheng Xian Tang is originally similar to Sheng Gan Shu Yu Tang (Raise Liver and Soothe Stagnation Decoction).
To treat amenorrhea and blood exhaustion in unmarried girls, accompanied by reduced appetite, feverish sensations, and cough.
Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 3 qian, stir-fried) Sheng Huai Shanyao (Dioscoreae Hypoglaucae Rhizoma, 1 liang) Sheng Jineijin (Galli Gigerii Endothelium Corneum, 2 qian, yellow variety) Longyanrou (Longan Aril, 6 qian) Shanzhuyu (Corni Fructus, 4 qian, pits removed) Gouqizi (Lycii Fructus, 4 qian) Xuanshen (Scrophulariae Radix, 3 qian) Sheng Hangshao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 3 qian) Taoren (Persicae Semen, 2 qian) Honghua (Carthami Flos, 1.5 qian) Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 2 qian)
If fever persists, add Sheng Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix) 6 qian up to 1 liang. If cough is present, add Chuanbeimu (Fritillariae Cirrhosae Bulbus) 3 qian and Yingkesu (Papaveris Pericarpium) 2 qian (discontinue when cough stops). If diarrhea occurs, remove Xuanshen, add Shu Dihuang (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix) 1 liang and Yunlingpian (Poria Cocos, sliced) 2 qian, or increase the dosage of Baizhu as appropriate. If diarrhea continues despite medication, prepare a porridge with fine powder of Sheng Huai Shanyao, mixed with several crushed cooked egg yolks, taken as a snack twice daily; discontinue once diarrhea stops. For dry stools, add Danggui and Ejiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin) several qian each. For difficult urination, add Sheng Cheqianzi (Plantaginis Semen) 3 qian (decocted in a bag) or Difuzi (Kochiae Spinosae Fructus) 2 qian, or increase the dosage of Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix), which effectively treats difficult urination due to Yin deficiency. For Liver Qi stagnation, add Sheng Maiya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus) 3 qian, Chuanxiong and Ezhu (Curcumae Rhizoma) 1 qian each. For excessive sweating, change Shanzhuyu to 6 qian and add Sheng Longgu (Fossilia Ossis Mastodi) and Sheng Muli (Concha Ostreae) 6 qian each.
The *Neijing* states: "Diseases of the Two Yangs originate in the Heart and Spleen; if there is 'bu de yinqu' (inability to act freely/psychological constraint), it manifests as amenorrhea in women." The Two Yangs refer to the Yangming Stomach Fu organ. When the Stomach is diseased and cannot digest food, tracing the origin reveals involvement of the Heart and Spleen. Further tracing reveals that the Heart-Spleen pathology stems from "bu de yinqu" (any state of inability to act freely). The Heart governs the Spirit (Shen), and the Spleen governs thought. Psychological constraint leads to stagnation of Shen and thought, reducing gastric acid secretion (digestion relies on acid; joy increases acid production, while worry/sorrow decreases it). Consequently, food cannot be digested to generate Blood, leading to amenorrhea in women. Since amenorrhea results from Stomach disease impairing digestion, treatment must regulate the Spleen and Stomach to promote appetite, establishing the foundation for Blood generation. Thus, Baizhu is used to strengthen Stomach Yang, enhancing peristalsis (digestion depends on stomach motility). Shanyao and Longyanrou nourish Stomach Yin to increase acid secretion. Jineijin naturally contains acid and helps transform the effects of tonic herbs, preventing stagnation from tonification. Blood deficiency often causes feverish sensations, so Xuanshen and Shaoyao are used to clear heat. Blood deficiency implies Liver-Kidney deficiency, so Shanzhuyu and Gouqizi are used to tonify them. Gancao is a primary herb for tonifying the Spleen and Stomach; combined with Shanzhuyu, it creates the effect of "sour-sweet transforming into Yin." Taoren and Honghua are potent blood-breaking herbs; used in small quantities here not to break blood, but to invigorate blood vessels and unblock collaterals. The modifications listed later are merely general guidelines; clinicians must adapt to specific cases dynamically.
A sixteen-year-old girl surnamed Cao from Cangzhou had not yet begun menstruation (Tian Gui). Her appetite was poor, body emaciated, and she felt increasingly feverish. Her pulse was five beats per breath, thin and forceless. Treated with Zisheng Tongmai Tang (Nourish Life and Unblock Vessels Decoction). After five doses, fever subsided, and appetite increased. Then, Xuanshen and Shaoyao were reduced by 1 qian each, and Danggui and Huainiuxi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix) 3 qian each were added. After ten doses, her body became fuller and stronger, and her pulse improved significantly. Ten Zhuji (Chorthippus/Mantis eggs, commonly called Hongniangchong) were then added. After seven to eight doses, menstruation began. Zhuji was then removed, and several more doses were taken to consolidate recovery.
A girl surnamed Ma from Fengma started menstruating at fourteen. In autumn at fifteen, excessive consumption of melons and fruits caused diarrhea lasting over a month. Menstruation ceased thereafter. Medical care was sought, and by late summer at sixteen, the condition worsened. She was abnormally emaciated, breathing slightly short, with dry cough and no phlegm, afternoon tidal fever (worse at night), reduced appetite, and loose stools. Her pulse was rapid, nearly six beats per breath, faint, thin, and forceless. I instructed her to first take a porridge made from 8 qian of fine Sheng Huai Shanyao powder mixed with four crushed cooked egg yolks, boiled briefly, taken on an empty stomach. Half an hour later, she took 2 wa of the Western digestive enzyme "Bupusheng" (Pancreatin) to aid digestion. Taken twice daily as a snack, diarrhea stopped after four days. Other symptoms also improved. Then, Zisheng Tongmai Tang was prescribed, removing Xuanshen and adding Sheng Dihuang 5 qian and Chuanbeimu 3 qian. After more than ten doses, fever decreased by 80%, appetite increased, and coughing/wheezing improved. Sheng Dihuang was replaced with Shu Dihuang, and Huainiuxi 5 qian was added. After ten doses, she felt healthy with all symptoms resolved, except menstruation had not returned. Tuiechong (Eupolyphaga/Steleophaga, true specimens have transverse stripes on the back) 5 pieces and Zhuji 10 pieces were added. After four doses, menstruation resumed. These were then removed, and several more doses were taken to consolidate recovery.
A seventeen-year-old girl surnamed Ma. Starting in autumn at sixteen, right-eye cataract failed to heal with medication. Excessive worry and thinking led to amenorrhea. Medication continued from the twelfth lunar month until early autumn of the following year without success. She was physically weak, with five-palm heat (heat in palms, soles, and chest), flushed malar region after noon, worsening burning sensation, chest fullness, poor appetite with food stagnation, and insomnia. Her pulse was five beats per breath, wiry, thin, and forceless. Due to food stagnation and insomnia, Zisheng Tongmai Tang was administered with Sheng Zheshi (Hematitum, finely ground) 4 qian and Shu Zaoren (Ziziphi Spinosomi Semen) 3 qian. After four doses, appetite increased, sleep normalized, and fever subsided slightly. Zaoren was removed, Zheshi reduced by 1 qian, and Dihuang 5 qian plus Danpi (Moutan Cortex) 3 qian were added. After about ten doses, fever greatly reduced. Danpi was removed, Longyanrou increased to 8 qian, and Huainiuxi 5 qian was added. After more than ten doses, her body gradually strengthened. Since menstruation still had not started, Tuiechong 5 pieces and Zhuji 10 pieces were added. After five doses, menstruation began, though flow was light. Zhuji and Dihuang were removed, and Danggui 5 qian was added for several doses to consolidate recovery.
