脉
洪数而疾，漏下血赤白，日下数升。脉急疾者死，迟者生；紧大者死，虚小者生。
证
崩之为病，乃血大下，岂可为寒？但血去后，其人必虚，当大补气血为主。东垣专主于寒而不言热者，
亦间而有之，但不知热之多也。丹溪曰∶有虚有热，虚则不溜，热则流通。《内经》曰∶阴虚阳搏谓之崩。
崩漏之疾，亦有阴阳。若妇人年五十后，经止数年矣，忽经又
行，兼腹痛，或身热口渴者，曰崩，阴证也。若妇人年三四十后，经行三十日，涌暴不止者，阳证也，曰漏。
治
若崩漏，初不问虚实，先用四物汤加荆芥穗（灯上烧）、防风、升麻、煎服。如不止，加蒲黄炒、
白术、升麻，并诸止血药止之。
一妇人血崩，年四十以上，悲哀太甚，则心系急，肺布叶举，而上焦不通，热气在中，故血走而崩。
面黄肌瘦，慎不可服热燥之药。盖血热而流行，先以黄连解毒汤，后以凉膈散合四物汤调治最效。
西园公治一妇人，年六十二岁，患血崩不止，以黄连解毒汤四帖，后服凉膈散合四物汤，六帖即愈。姑
记以广其传。

Pulse
The pulse is surging, rapid, and hurried, with vaginal discharge of red and white blood, losing several sheng (a traditional unit of volume) per day. A rapid and hurried pulse indicates a fatal prognosis; a slow pulse indicates survival. A tight and large pulse indicates death; a deficient and small pulse indicates survival.
Syndrome
The disease of "Beng" (sudden heavy uterine bleeding) involves massive hemorrhage; how can it be treated with cold-natured herbs? However, after the loss of blood, the patient must become deficient, so the primary treatment should be to greatly tonify Qi and Blood. Li Dongyuan specifically emphasized cold-natured treatments without mentioning heat syndromes; while this occurs occasionally, he failed to recognize that heat syndromes are far more common. Zhu Danxi stated: "There are deficiency and heat syndromes. Deficiency leads to failure of containment, while heat leads to free flow." The *Huangdi Neijing* states: "Yin deficiency with Yang pulse striking forcefully is called Beng."
The disorder of Beng and Lou (metrorrhagia and metrostaxis) also involves Yin and Yang. If a woman over fifty years old, whose menstruation has ceased for several years, suddenly resumes menstruation accompanied by abdominal pain, or fever and thirst, it is called "Beng," which is a Yin syndrome. If a woman in her thirties or forties, with a menstrual cycle of thirty days, experiences sudden gushing and continuous bleeding, it is a Yang syndrome, called "Lou."
Treatment
For initial cases of Beng or Lou, regardless of deficiency or excess, first use Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) added with Jingjie Sui (Schizonepeta Spike, charred on a lamp), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root), and Shengma (Cimicifuga Rhizome), decocted and taken orally. If bleeding does not stop, add Chao Puhuang (Fried Typha Pollen), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), and Shengma, along with various hemostatic herbs to stop the bleeding.
A woman over forty suffered from severe uterine bleeding due to excessive grief. This caused the Heart Tie to contract, the Lung Lobes to rise, obstructing the Upper Jiao, leading to heat accumulation in the middle. Consequently, blood rushed and caused Beng. Her face was sallow and she was emaciated; hot and drying herbs must strictly be avoided. Since this is blood heat causing reckless flow, treating first with Huanglian Jiedu Tang (Coptis Decoction to Relieve Toxicity) and subsequently with Liangge San (Cool the Epigastrium Powder) combined with Siwu Tang is most effective.
Master Xiyuan treated a sixty-two-year-old woman suffering from continuous uterine bleeding. After four doses of Huanglian Jiedu Tang, she took six doses of Liangge San combined with Siwu Tang and was cured. I record this to spread its knowledge.

Generally, uterine bleeding results from meridian disorder, where blood does not follow its normal path but overflows and acts recklessly. If uncontrolled for one or two days, stagnant blood accumulates and forms clots. Using only astringent herbs may worsen the condition. It is appropriate to use Wuji San (Five Accumulations Powder) added with Fangfeng and Jingjie, decocted with vinegar, administered for one or two doses. Then advance to Duxing San (Single-Action Powder) taken with Piliujiu; one to three doses usually stop the bleeding. If it persists, treat with various other hemostatic formulas.
