When the intestine prolapses before the fetus during labor, with the fetus following later, one should first calm the parturient's mind and avoid panic. Use a clean basin or lacquer vessel to support the prolapsed intestine, soak it in a decoction of *Phellodendri Cortex* (Huangbo) or *Aurantii Fructus* (Zhiqiao), or maintain it with warm water. After delivery, have the woman lie supine. Take half a bowl of rice vinegar mixed with seven parts warm water, and exhale breath towards her face. Each exhalation causes the intestine to retract; continue until fully retracted.
Alternatively, crush forty-nine seeds of *Ricini Semen* (Bimazi) and apply them to the Baihui acupoint on the vertex. Remove the medication immediately after complete retraction. Or, use a large paper wick dipped in sesame oil, ignite it, blow it out, and smoke the fumes into the nose to induce retraction. One may also use powder of *Pinelliae Rhizoma* (Banxia). Or, insufflate powder of *Gleditsiae Sinensis Spina* (Zaojiao) into the nose to induce sneezing.
If retraction is difficult, use five jin of sesame oil, heated in a basin, and have the patient sit in it for one shichen (two hours) to moisten and facilitate retraction.
