Impassable defecation is named "Suo Du" (Lock Belly), all caused by heat-toxin received in the womb. Zhu Mi (Cinnabar Honey) and Yi Nian Jin (One Pinch Gold) are both applicable; urgently, apply the mouth-sucking method to the Five Centers (Wu Xin) and below the umbilicus to unblock.
[Note] When an infant passes stool on the day of birth or the next day, it is colloquially called "Xia Qi Shi" (Passing Umbilical Stool). This indicates that the intestines and stomach are smooth and harmonious, and the pylorus is moist. If there is no stool for two or three days, it is named "Suo Du" (Lock Belly), resulting from heat-toxin of acrid and hot nature received in the fetus, causing qi stagnation and blockage. The child must present with a red face, abdominal distension, refusal to nurse, and frequent crying. It is appropriate to first use the Zhu Mi method; if ineffective, administer an age-appropriate dose of Yi Nian Jin. Subsequently, have a woman rinse her mouth with warm water and suck the child's anterior and posterior heart areas, palms, soles, and below the umbilicus, totaling seven points, until the skin turns reddish. Shortly thereafter, the stool will pass naturally.
Zhu Mi Method (Formula see Chapter: Cleaning Mouth)
Yi Nian Jin (Formula see Chapter: Refusal to Nurse)
When both urine and stool are blocked, it indicates extreme fetal heat. Mu Tong San (Akebia Decoction) and Zi Shuang Wan (Purple Frost Pill) can move heat and resolve accumulation, truly miraculous; the mouth-sucking method is exactly as described before.
[Note] When an infant cannot pass both urine and stool at birth, it is the most critical condition, formed by excessive heat-toxin in the fetus. Urgently apply the aforementioned mouth-sucking method to the Five Centers and below the umbilicus, then use Mu Tong San to clear heat and Zi Shuang Wan to resolve accumulation, so there is hope for survival. If delayed to seven days, termed "Yi La" (One Lunar Month/Week), with a hard and distended abdomen and constant moaning, it becomes difficult to treat!
Mu Tong San
Plantaginis Semen (Cheqianzi), Polygoni Cuspidati Caulis (Bianxu), Dianthi Herba (Qumai), Akebiae Caulis (Mutong), Poria Cocos with Red Bark (Chiling), Gardeniae Fructus (Shanzhi), Talcum (Huashi, flown), Scutellariae Radix (Huangqin), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Recens (Sheng Gancao), Rhei Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang).
Decoct with Junci Medulla (Dengxin) water, or decoct together with Menthae Haplocalycis Herba (Bohe).
[Formula Song] How to treat blocked urine and stool? Mu Tong San is very strange. Cheqian, Bianxu, Qumai, Mutong, Lingzhi, Zhizi, Huashi, Huangqin, Gancao, Dahuang are suitable.
