In women, metrorrhagia (sudden and severe uterine bleeding) is caused by damage to the Zang-Fu organs and deficiency of the Chong and Ren meridians, resulting in both Qi and Blood deficiency. The Chong and Ren meridians are the sea of the twelve meridians; the movement of Qi and Blood circulates externally along the meridians and internally nourishes the Zang-Fu organs. If Qi and Blood are harmonious and balanced, menstruation occurs on time. However, if overexertion causes damage to all Zang-Fu organs, the Qi of the Chong and Ren becomes deficient and fails to constrain the menstrual blood, causing it to suddenly flow down in large amounts. This is called "Beng Zhong" (Metrorrhagia). Treatment should employ herbs that greatly tonify Qi and Blood to nourish the Spleen and Stomach, with a slight addition of herbs that settle and subdue Heart Fire to regulate the Heart. By tonifying Yin and draining Yang, menstruation will naturally cease.

In treating any disease, if the patient demands too rapid an effect, or fails to regulate the Seven Emotions (Joy, Anger, Worry, Pensiveness, Sadness, Fear, Fright), or if the prescription does not distinguish between the excess and deficiency of the meridians, the disease will be difficult to cure.

The diseases of widows have rarely been discussed since ancient times, except for brief mentions by Cang Gong (Chunyu Yi) and Chu Cheng. A widow refers to nuns or women who have lost their husbands, living alone without male companionship. Having reproductive desires but unable to satisfy them, they develop illness due to depression. Living within the inner quarters, sexual desire arises but remains unfulfilled, leading to a struggle between Yin and Yang, manifesting as alternating chills and fever, resembling Malaria (Nue Ji). Prolonged, this leads to Consumption (Lao). Other symptoms include Amenorrhea (Jing Bi), Bai Yin (leukorrhea), Phlegm counterflow, Head Wind (Tou Feng), Diaphragmatic Qi stagnation, Epigastric fullness, dull complexion, and emaciation. These are common conditions among widows. Upon pulse diagnosis, the Liver pulse alone is wiry and extends beyond the Cun position up to the Yuji area, indicating abundant Blood. The Classic states: "When a man's Essence is abundant, he desires intercourse; when a woman's Blood is abundant, she conceives." This explains the phenomenon.

The human body forms its structure through skin, hair, blood vessels, sinews, muscles, and bone marrow. Internally, the Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lung, and Kidney govern these structures. Misuse of emotions, such as excessive joy, anger, labor, or rest, depletes the Essence and Blood within the Five Viscera. This causes the skin, blood, sinews, bones, and flesh to become flaccid and weak, lacking the strength to move, thereby resulting in Wei Syndrome (Flaccidity Syndrome). Its presentation resembles Rou Feng (Soft Wind) and Hong Kong Jiao (Foot Qi/Jamaica Foot). Rou Feng and Hong Kong Jiao are caused by external factors, whereas Wei Syndrome is caused by internal insufficiency of the Five Viscera.

Dietary intake fails to transform into muscle and flesh nutrients because water and grain cannot be transported and transformed, and their refined essences fail to irrigate the Zang-Fu organs and the hundred vessels throughout the body. Consequently, the Spirit has no foundation. Thus, shortness of breath and rapid respiration occur, indicating deficiency of True Qi. Lethargy and a desire to lie down indicate Spleen Qi decline. Incontinence of urine indicates the Bladder's failure to store. Occasional dry heat and epigastric empty discomfort indicate the Stomach Qi's inability to ascend and nourish. Trance-like states and forgetfulness indicate chaos of the Shen (Spirit). If any of these conditions are present, the disease is considered incurable.
