Discussion: For continuous bleeding (Lou Xue), whether due to recent fetal injury or postpartum residual blood forming hard masses that prevent the closure of the Bao Men (uterine opening), resulting in persistent dripping blood that does not stop over days and months, do not immediately use various hemostatic decoctions. Instead, first administer Mudan Wan (Moutan Pill) or San (powders), waiting for the hard blood masses to dissipate before stopping the bleeding. Once the hard blood dissipates, the dripping will naturally cease and gradually decrease. Afterward, if there are other injuries or damages, do not treat this specific condition further, but proceed with general treatments. Women who lose excessive blood during childbirth, from fetal injury, from Benzhong, from Jin Chuang (metal wounds), or from tooth extraction, if bleeding has not stopped and they experience symptoms such as a feeling of emptiness in the heart, chest oppression, dizziness, heavy head, dim vision, tinnitus/fullness in ears, and faintness upon lifting the head, first decoct Danggui Radix Angelicae Sinensis and Chuanxiong Rhizoma Chuanxiong (each 3 liang) in 4 sheng of water to obtain 2 sheng of decoction. Remove dregs and divide into two doses to stabilize the condition. Then, sequentially combine with other decoctions for treatment.
