一男子遗精白浊、口干作渴，大便闭涩，午后热甚。用补中益气加芍药、玄参，并加减

脉诊：遗精和白浊，应当在尺部脉象上进行验证。如果脉象呈现结、芤、动、紧的特征，这是这两种病症的确切指征。脉象微涩表示精气受损，脉象洪数表示火热逼迫，也有可能是心气虚弱，表现为左寸脉短小。脉迟表明病情尚可救治，脉象急疾则预示生命垂危。
邪气侵犯阴分，心神不能守舍，因此心中有所感应，做梦后发生泄精。这种情况后来分为三种：年少时气血旺盛，或长期独身克制欲望，强行抑制情欲而不自知，这种泄精就像瓶子装满水后溢出一样。有些人会有这种情况，这属于无病状态，不需要服药治疗。如果是心气虚弱，不能主宰精神，或者心受热邪，阳气不能收敛，这种泄精就像瓶子侧倾流出一样。这种情况很多人都有，病情尤其轻微，适合使用平和的药剂。如果是脏腑积弱，真元久已亏损，心神不能摄持意念，肾气不能固摄精液，这种泄精就像瓶子上有裂缝漏水一样。这种人很少见，病情最重，必须大力进补汤药。有人说道梦遗比房劳过度更严重，这只是世俗人习惯听到的说法。难道没有观察到病情有轻重之分吗？除此之外还有一类人，神气被消磨，怪异现象横生，风邪乘其虚弱侵袭，鬼气干扰正气，往往与鬼魅交通，这又是厄运中难以理解的情况。药物疗法确实能辅助治疗，这话是真的。
长时间没有性生活且精神饱满的人，不必担忧。心中有所爱慕而导致梦遗的，是君火发动、相火跟随所致。夜里梦见与人交合而精液泄出的，称为梦遗（均使用后方）。

倒阳法 半夜子时分，阳气正兴起时，仰卧闭目闭口，舌顶上颚，将腰拱起，用左手中指顶住尾闾穴，用右手大拇指顶住无名指根部握拳；又将双腿伸直，双脚十趾用力抠地，提起一口气，心中存想脊背脑后，上贯至头顶，慢慢直至丹田，方才将腰腿手脚从容放下。如果再次进行照前面的方法，而阳气衰退了。如果阳气未衰，再进行两、三遍。如果初次进行时，阳气未兴起，勉强使其兴起，才可以进行。人的虚实状况，是因为年少时欲心大盛，房事过多，水火不能相济，以致产生此病。如果能练习此法，不仅迅速去除泄精之病，久而久之肾水上升，心火下降，则水火既济，永远没有疾病了。
陈桂林秀才，患夜间做梦遗精，每月一、二次或三、五次。遗精后神思昏沉、身体困倦。我诊察六脉微涩无力，这是阴虚火动的症状。用辰砂既济丸加紫河车、龙骨服用，几个月奏效。无奈他多次患病是因为不能谨守禁忌，因此随口作俚语一章以告诫他说：培养精元贵在节制房事，祛除尘世累赘最为良好；饮食只吃半饱宜清淡，饮酒只限三分不要过伤；药物随时应勉力进服，功名有分不必匆忙；这几句俚语你能品味，便是长生不老方。
朱工部，劳累则遗精，牙齿随即疼痛。使用补中益气汤加半夏、茯苓、芍药，并配合六味地黄丸，逐渐痊愈；再用十全大补汤加麦门冬、五味子而康复（方剂见补益篇）。
Pulse Diagnosis: For spermatorrhea (spermatorrhea) and leukorrhea (leukorrhea), verification should be sought in the Chi (Cun, Guan, Chi) pulse position. If the pulse presents as Jie (Knotted), Kou (Hollow), Dong (Surging), or Jin (Tight), these are definitive indicators of these two conditions. A Wei (Fine) and Se (Choppy) pulse indicates damage to essence; a Hong (Surging) and Shuo (Rapid) pulse indicates forcing by fire; there may also be Heart Qi deficiency, manifesting as a short and small pulse at the Left Cun position. A Chi (Slow) pulse suggests the condition is treatable, while a Ji (Urgent) and Xi (Rapid) pulse portends premature death.
Evil pathogens invade the Yin aspect, causing the Shen (Spirit) to fail to reside within its abode. Thus, when the mind is moved by external stimuli, emission occurs during dreams. This condition subsequently manifests in three ways: In youth, when Qi and blood are vigorous, or for widowers who restrain themselves, forcibly suppressing sexual desire without realizing it, this emission is like a bottle overflowing when full. Some people experience this; it is considered disease-free and requires no medication. If Heart Qi is deficient and unable to govern, or if Heat affects the Heart causing Yang Qi to fail to consolidate, this emission is like liquid pouring from a tilted bottle. Many people suffer from this; the pathology is particularly mild, and mild-acting formulas are appropriate. If Zang-Fu organs are chronically weak and True Yuan (Original Qi) has been depleted for a long time, with the Heart failing to control thoughts and the Kidney failing to secure essence, this emission is like water leaking from a cracked bottle. Few people suffer from this; the pathology is most severe, requiring strong tonic decoctions. Some claim that dream emission is worse than sexual exhaustion; this is merely a common secular belief. Have they not observed the differences in severity? Furthermore, there is another group whose Shen Qi (Spiritual Energy) is consumed, generating bizarre phenomena. Wind pathogens exploit their deficiency, and "ghost qi" interferes with righteous Qi, often leading to interactions with spirits. This represents an incomprehensible misfortune. Pharmacological therapy indeed assists in treatment; this statement is true.
Those who have abstained from sexual activity for a long time and possess abundant spirit need not worry. Dream emission caused by mental attachment results from the movement of Minister Fire following the Sovereign Fire. Nocturnal emission occurring after dreaming of sexual intercourse is termed Meng Yi (Dream Emission) (use the following formulas).

Emission occurring without dreams, where semen flows out spontaneously, is due to slippage of the seminal pathway. This arises from internal deficiency of the Heart and Kidney, failing to maintain consolidation, all driven by the movement of Minister Fire.

Take forty pills per dose, send down with half a bowl of soup. Take three or four times daily. Long-term use will result in feeling strong and healthy, and dream emission will stop immediately.

Chensha Jiji Wan (Cinnabar Equilibrium Pill) Treats depletion of Primordial Yang, insecurity of essence and Qi, nocturnal dream emission, night sweats, and seminal leakage. Taking this medicine greatly tonifies Primordial Qi, secures essence and consolidates Yang, with miraculous effects.

Supplementary Prescriptions
Method to Stop Spermatorrhea and Night Sweats: Use a short bed or rush mat, sleep on your side with legs curled, do not extend your feet; the illness will heal naturally.
Bao Sheng Dan (Protect Life Pill) Treats nocturnal dream emission occurring every night for ten days, or recurring after a night's rest.
Young Linderae Radix (Nen Wuyao), Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus (Yizhiren), Cinnabaris (Zhusha) [separately ground, water-flavored, reserve half for coating, one tael each above], Dry Dioscoreae Rhizoma (Gan Shanyao) [two taels].
Grind each into powder separately. Make a paste from the Shanyao to form pills. If not cohesive, add some wine. Form pills the size of Sophora japonica seeds. Take one hundred pills per dose, send down with light salt water on an empty stomach.
Dao Yang Method (Reverse Yang Method): At midnight (Zi hour), when Yang Qi is rising, lie supine with eyes closed and mouth shut, tongue pressing against the palate, arch the waist. Use the middle finger of the left hand to press the Weilu acupoint. Use the thumb of the right hand to press the root of the ring finger while making a fist. Extend both legs, curl both feet' ten toes inward. Draw up one breath, visualize the spine and back of the head, ascending to the top of the head, slowly reaching the Dantian. Only then calmly lower the waist, legs, hands, and feet. Repeat as before if Yang declines. If Yang has not declined, repeat two or three times. If Yang does not rise initially, force it to rise to proceed. The deficiency or excess in humans arises from excessive sexual desire in youth and excessive coitus, causing Water and Fire to fail to interact, leading to this disease. Practicing this method not only quickly cures seminal emission but, over time, raises Kidney Water and lowers Heart Fire, achieving equilibrium of Water and Fire, ensuring permanent health.
Scholar Chen Guilin suffered from nocturnal dream emission, occurring one to two or three to five times monthly. After emission, he experienced mental confusion and physical fatigue. I diagnosed his six pulses as Fine, Choppy, and powerless, indicating Yin deficiency with hyperactive fire. I administered Chen Sha Ji Ji Wan (Cinnabar Equilibrium Pill) added with Placenta Hominis (Ziheche) and Ostreae Concha (Longgu). It took effect after several months. Unfortunately, he relapsed frequently due to failure to observe precautions. Therefore, I composed a colloquial verse to warn him: "Nurturing Essence and Yuan requires regulating intercourse; dispelling worldly burdens is best. Eat only half-full, prefer bland diet; limit alcohol to three tenths, avoid harm. Medicines should be taken diligently as needed; fame and fortune have their share, do not rush. If you savor these few lines, it is the prescription for immortality."
Director Zhu suffered from emission upon exertion, followed immediately by toothache. Using Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) added with Pinelliae Rhizoma (Banxia), Poria (Fuling), and Paeoniae Radix Alba (Shaoyao), along with Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia), he gradually recovered; further treated with Shi Quan Da Bu Tang (Ten Complete Great Tonifying Decoction) added with Ophiopogonis Radix (Maimendong) and Schisandrae Fructus (Wuweizi) until cured (see Tonification section).
A man suffered from spermatorrhea and leukorrhea, dry mouth with thirst, constipation, and severe afternoon fever. Treated with Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) added with Paeoniae Radix Alba (Shaoyao) and Scrophulariae Radix (Xuanshen), along with Jian Ba Wei Wan (Modified Eight-Ingredient Pill), he recovered (see Tonification section).
