产后虚烦不止者，由阴气虚，阳无所附，阳气独发于外，故汗出也。阴气虚弱不复，故汗出不止。因之遇风则变成
痉。纵不成痉，亦虚乏短气，身体柴瘦，唇口干燥，久则经水短绝，由津液竭故也。薛立斋曰∶前证属血气俱虚，急用
十全大补汤。如不应，用参附、 附等汤，若汗多亡阳发痉，尤当用前药。
一产妇，略闻音响，其汗如水而昏愦，诸药到口即呕。余以为脾气虚败，用参附末为细丸，时含三五粒，随液咽下，
乃渐加之，至钱许，却服参附汤而痊。
一产妇，盗汗不止，遂至废寐，神思疲甚，口干引饮，余谓血虚有热，用当归补血汤以代茶，又以当归六黄汤内芩
连柏炒黑，倍人参五味子，二剂而愈。凡产后忽冒闷，汗出不识人，属大虚，宜固元气为主，其汗不止，必变柔痉。

产后出现持续虚烦不安的症状，是由于阴气虚弱，阳气失去依附，导致阳气独自发散于体表，从而引起出汗。若阴气虚弱无法恢复，就会导致汗出不止。因此，如果此时感受风邪，就会转变为痉病（以项背强直、角弓反张为特征的疾病）。即使不发展为痉病，也会出现身体虚弱乏力、呼吸短促、形体消瘦干枯、嘴唇和口腔干燥等症状；日久则会导致月经量少甚至闭经，这是因为津液枯竭的缘故。薛立斋说：上述症状属于气血俱虚，应立即使用十全大补汤。如果无效，使用参附汤或附子等温阳药物；如果是因汗出过多导致亡阳并引发痉病，更应当使用前面的药物。
有一位产妇，稍微听到一点声响，就大汗淋漓如水，并且神志昏沉迷糊，各种药物入口即呕吐。我认为这是脾气虚败所致，于是将人参、附子研成细末制成小丸，让她每次含服三五粒，随唾液慢慢咽下，逐渐增加剂量，直到服用约一钱重量的药丸后，再改服参附汤而痊愈。
另一位产妇，夜间盗汗不止，导致无法入睡，精神极度疲乏，口干想喝水。我认为是血虚有热，便用当归补血汤代替茶饮，又用当归六黄汤，并将其中的黄芩、黄连、黄柏炒黑，加倍使用人参和五味子，服用两剂后痊愈。凡是产后突然发生晕厥闷乱、出汗且不认识人的情况，属于大虚证，应以固护元气为主；如果汗出不止，必然会演变为柔痉（以汗出、恶风、项强为特征的痉病）。

Postpartum persistent deficiency-related restlessness is caused by the deficiency of Yin Qi, leaving Yang Qi without attachment. Consequently, Yang Qi alone disperses outward, resulting in sweating. If the deficiency of Yin Qi fails to recover, sweating will persist incessantly. Therefore, if exposed to wind pathogens during this state, it may transform into Jing disease (a condition characterized by stiffness of the neck and back, and opisthotonos). Even if Jing disease does not develop, the patient will suffer from physical weakness, shortness of breath, emaciation, dry lips and mouth; prolonged duration leads to scanty menstruation or amenorrhea due to the exhaustion of body fluids. Xue Lizhai stated: The aforementioned symptoms belong to a dual deficiency of Blood and Qi. One should urgently use Shiquan Dabu Tang (Ten Agents Great Tonifying Decoction). If there is no response, use Shenfu Tang (Ginseng and Aconite Decoction) or other warming Yang formulas. In cases where excessive sweating leads to the collapse of Yang and triggers Jing disease, the aforementioned medicines are even more indicated.
A postpartum woman, upon hearing slight noises, sweated profusely like water and became unconscious and confused. All administered medicines were vomited immediately upon ingestion. I diagnosed this as failure of Spleen Qi. I prepared fine pills made from Ginseng and Aconite powder, advising her to hold three to five pills in her mouth at a time and swallow them slowly with saliva. Gradually increasing the dose to approximately one qian, she subsequently took Shenfu Tang and recovered.
Another postpartum woman suffered from incessant night sweats, leading to insomnia and extreme mental fatigue, accompanied by dry mouth and thirst. I diagnosed this as Blood deficiency with internal heat. I prescribed Danggui Buxue Tang (Dong Quai Decoction for Replenishing Blood) to be taken as tea. Additionally, I used Danggui Liuhuang Tang (Dong Quai and Six Huangs Decoction), modifying it by stir-frying Scutellariae Radix (Huangqin), Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian), and Phellodendri Cortex (Huangbai) until blackened, and doubling the dosage of Ginseng and Schisandrae Fructus (Wuweizi). She recovered after two doses. Generally, sudden fainting and confusion with sweating and loss of recognition in postpartum women indicate severe deficiency; the primary treatment should focus on consolidating Yuan Qi. If sweating persists, it must transform into Rou Jing (Soft Spasm, characterized by sweating, aversion to wind, and neck stiffness).
