The contents of chapters such as "Yong Ju Pian" (Chapter on Carbuncles and Ulcers) and "Yu Ban Pian" (Chapter on Jade Tablets) are all detailed in the context of external medicine.

In "Ping Ren Jue Gu Pian" (Chapter on Healthy Persons Fasting from Grain), the Yellow Emperor asked: I wish to understand why a person who does not eat will die after seven days? Bo Gao replied: Shen Qi (Spirit, derived from the essence of water and grain). Therefore, within the intestines and stomach, there is usually retained two dou of grain and one dou five sheng of water. Thus, a healthy person defecates twice a day, with each stool being two and a half sheng, totaling five sheng per day. Over seven days, this amounts to three dou five sheng, exhausting the retained water and grain. Therefore, if a healthy person dies after seven days without eating or drinking, it is because the essence, qi, jin ye (body fluids), and blood derived from water and grain have been exhausted.

In "Tong Ping Xu Shi Lun" (Chapter on Comprehensive Evaluation of Deficiency and Excess), the Yellow Emperor asked: If a nursing woman suffers from heat disease and her pulse is xuan xiao (suspended and small/fine), what happens? Qi Bo replied: If the hands and feet are warm, she will survive; if cold, she will die. The Yellow Emperor further asked: If a nursing woman contracts wind-heat, presenting with panting, wheezing sounds, and shoulder breathing (accessory muscle use), what would her pulse be like? Qi Bo replied: For those presenting with panting, wheezing sounds, and shoulder breathing, the pulse should be shi da (excessive and large); if the pulse is huan (slow/relaxed), she will survive; if ji (rapid/tight), she will die.

"Lun Ji Zhen Chi Pian" (Chapter on Diagnosing Diseases by Observing the Forearm) states: When an infant is ill, if the hair on the head stands completely upright, death is certain.

"Re Bing Pian" (Chapter on Heat Diseases) states: For the elderly and infants, if there is fever accompanied by abdominal fullness, death ensues.

Hua Yuanhua said: One who is not sick but has the Five Elements (Wu Xing) cut off will die. One who is not sick but undergoes sudden changes in temperament will die. One who is not sick but suddenly speaks deliriously will die. One who is not sick but suddenly becomes mute will die. One who is not sick but suddenly pants/wheezes will die. One who is not sick but experiences qiang zhong (priapism/excessive sexual arousal) will die. One who is not sick but suddenly goes blind will die. One who is not sick but suddenly develops generalized edema and fullness will die. One who is not sick but has constipation will die. One who is not sick but suddenly loses their pulse will die. One who is not sick but suddenly faints and is confused as if drunk will die. This is because the internal and external Zheng Qi (Upright Qi) have already been exhausted. Those with Ni (rebellious/pathological reversal) conditions die immediately; even those with Shun (favorable) conditions do not survive beyond two years.

Various diseases in women are fundamentally no different from those in men, with the exceptions lying only in categories related to Jing Shui (menstrual flow), Tai Yun (pregnancy), and Chan Yu (childbirth). Therefore, this section lists only these nine categories: Jing Mai Lei (Menstrual Disorders Category), Tai Yun Lei (Pregnancy Category), Chan Yu Lei (Childbirth Category), Chan Hou Lei (Postpartum Category), Dai Zhuo Lei (Leukorrhea and Turbidity Category), Ru Bing Lei (Breast Disease Category), Zi Si Lei (Fertility Category), Xia Lei (Masses/Fixed Lumps Category), and Qian Yin Lei (Genital Area Category). These nine are the most pertinent conditions for gynecology, necessitating separate detailed discussions on formulas and theories. Other miscellaneous diseases that are identical to those in men have their own respective sections discussing treatment methods, so they are not duplicated here due to gender distinctions.
