脉
女人尺脉常盛，而右手脉大，皆其常也。若肾脉微涩，或浮或
滑，而断绝不匀，或肝脉沉而急，皆经闭不调之候也。
证
夫女子十四则月水行，男子十六则阳精溢，此皆合乎阴阳之数，各及其时。故男子之精气宜盛，女子
之月水宜调。调经之道，贵乎抑其气以行其血，血盛气衰为从，从则百病不生，孕育乃成。且妇人之病，
四时所感，六淫七情所伤，悉与男子治法同。惟胎前产后，七 八瘕，崩漏带下之证为异，故别着方。究其
所因，多由月水不调，变生诸证，大概以经候如期为要。或有愆期，当审其冷热而调之。先期而行者，血
热也，法当清之；过期而行者，血寒也，法当温之。然又不可不察其有无外感，为之寒热，而后投药。
且行经之际，与产后一般，将理失宜，为病不浅。若被惊则血气错乱，经脉渐然不行，逆于上则从口鼻中出，
逆于身则为血分劳瘵。若其时劳力太过，则生虚热，亦为疼痛之根。若喜怒则气逆，气逆则血逆，逆于腰、
腿、心、腹、背、胁之间，遇经行时，则痛而重着。过期又安。若怒极而伤于肝，则又有眼晕、呕吐之症，
加之经脉渗漏于其间，遂成窍血淋漓不已。凡此之时，中风则病风，感
冷则病冷，久而不治，崩漏带下，七 八瘕，可立而待矣。
一诊妇女右手寸脉浮长，出于鱼际者，气盛也。盖女人善怀多思多妒，每事不遂意则郁，忿满则气无释，
血益日消，气益日盛，阴阳交争，乍寒乍热，食减形羸，诸病蜂起，宜越鞠丸主之。然此脉之妇，惟师
尼寡妇，长年闺女、士大夫商贾之妻，并失志之妇者有之。
一厥阴肝脉弦出寸口，又上鱼际者，阴盛也，此思男子不可得
也。盖男子以精为主，男子精盛以思室，妇人血盛以怀胎。故肝脉弦出寸口者，则阴盛可知矣。

Pulse Diagnosis
The chi pulse (pulse position corresponding to the kidney and reproductive system) in women is usually vigorous, and a larger pulse on the right hand are all normal phenomena. If the kidney pulse is slightly choppy, or floating or slippery, with an irregular and interrupted rhythm; or if the liver pulse is deep and rapid, these are signs of amenorrhea and menstrual irregularity.
Symptoms
Menarche occurs around age fourteen in girls, and seminal emission around age sixteen in boys; this conforms to the numbers of Yin and Yang and occurs at the appropriate time. Therefore, men's essence should be abundant, and women's menstruation should be regulated. The key to regulating menstruation lies in suppressing excessive Qi to promote blood circulation, where abundant blood and deficient Qi constitute compliance (shun); compliance prevents myriad diseases and enables conception. Moreover, women's diseases caused by seasonal external pathogens or the Six Evils (Wind, Cold, Summerheat, Dampness, Dryness, Fire) and Seven Emotions (Joy, Anger, Worry, Pensiveness, Sadness, Fear, Fright) are treated similarly to those of men. Only conditions during pregnancy and postpartum, seven types of masses and eight types of accumulations (general terms for abdominal masses), metrorrhagia and metrostaxis (profuse or prolonged non-menstrual bleeding), and leukorrhea differ, so separate formulas are provided. Investigating the causes, most stem from menstrual irregularities generating various syndromes; generally, having menstruation arrive on schedule is paramount. If delayed, one must examine whether it is due to Heat or Cold and regulate accordingly. Menstruation arriving early indicates Blood Heat, treated by clearing Heat; menstruation arriving late indicates Blood Cold, treated by warming the channels. However, one must not fail to check for external pathogenic invasion and distinguish Cold or Heat before administering medication. During menstruation, as in the postpartum period, improper care can lead to significant pathology. If startled, Qi and Blood become chaotic, meridians gradually cease to flow; reversing upward causes bleeding from the mouth or nose, while reversing within the body leads to blood-stasis consumptive disease. Excessive labor during menstruation generates deficiency Heat, becoming the root of pain. Emotional extremes cause Qi reversal; Qi reversal leads to Blood reversal, stagnating in the waist, legs, heart, abdomen, back, and flanks. During menstruation, this results in heavy pain. If symptoms subside after delay, but extreme anger injures the Liver, dizziness and vomiting may occur. Combined with meridian leakage, this leads to continuous dripping of blood from orifices. At such times, contracting wind causes wind diseases, exposure to cold causes cold diseases; if untreated for long, metrorrhagia, leukorrhea, and abdominal masses will inevitably follow.
Diagnosis 1: A floating and long cun pulse (pulse position corresponding to the Heart and Lungs) on the right hand of a woman, extending beyond the thenar eminence (the fleshy part at the base of the thumb), indicates excess Qi. This is often because women tend to overthink and harbor jealousy; when things do not go as wished, they become depressed. Accumulated resentment prevents Qi from dissipating, causing Blood to deplete daily while Qi becomes excessive. Yin and Yang contend, causing alternating chills and fever, reduced appetite, emaciation, and a swarm of diseases. Yueju Wan is indicated. This pulse pattern is commonly seen in nuns, widows, long-term unmarried women, wives of scholars and merchants, and frustrated women.
Diagnosis 2: A wiry Jueyin Liver pulse emerging from the cun position and reaching the thenar eminence indicates excess Yin. This arises from longing for a man who cannot be attained. Generally, men rely on Essence; abundant Essence drives sexual desire. Women rely on Blood; abundant Blood facilitates pregnancy. Thus, a wiry Liver pulse emerging from the cun indicates Yin excess.

Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Chuanxiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix).
Crush one dose, decoct in water, and take warm. Adjust according to specific conditions.
Abdominal pain after menstruation indicates Qi and Blood deficiency; add Sijunzi Tang. If accompanied by Cold, add Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma). Continuous dull abdominal pain three to five days after menstruation indicates that Blood flow has cleared but stagnant Qi remains; add Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix) and Binglang (Arecae Semen). Excessive menstruation without other symptoms: add Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) and Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma).

Frequent early menstruation indicates Blood Heat; use Shengdihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Recens), add Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Huangqin, and Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma). Frequent late menstruation in thin individuals suggests Blood deficiency; double Danggui and Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata), add Huangbo (Phellodendri Cortex), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), and small amounts of Taoren (Persicae Semen) and Honghua as guides for generating Blood.
