妇人带下，举世皆曰寒，误之甚矣。所谓带下者，任脉之病也。经曰∶任脉者，
起于中极之下，以上毛际，循腹里，上关元，至于咽喉，上颐循面入目。注言∶任脉自

以苦寒性质的药物作为君药：黄芩、黄柏、黄连、知母、生地黄（用黄酒清洗）。以甘温性质的药物作为佐药：黄芪、人参、甘草。以大辛散结的药物作为臣药：连翘、当归、藁本。以辛温活血祛瘀的药物：当归梢、苏木、红花、牡丹皮。（若）脉象浮，说明病邪在表，适宜疏通经络：黄连、黄芩、连翘、当归、人参、木香、槟榔、黄柏、泽泻。病变部位在腰部以上直至头部的，枳壳仍作为引经药，引导药力到达疮疡患处。（具有解毒消肿功效的：牛蒡子。排脓的：肉桂。入心经引导血液化汗而不溃破，损伤皮肤的：王瓜根、三棱、莪术、黄药子。疼痛剧烈的：黄芩、黄连、黄柏、知母。）脉象沉，说明病邪在里，应当疏利脏腑，通利之后，在前述药物中加入大黄，以通便为度，根据患者虚实情况确定剂量。疼痛的，仅用当归、黄芪来止住。
产妇临近预产期尚未分娩时，凡是有疾病，先用黄芩、白术安胎，然后再用治疗疾病的药物。发热及肌肤发热的，用黄连、黄芩、黄芪、人参。腹痛的，用白芍药、甘草。感冒的，根据前述解表的方法处理。产后各种疾病，忌用白芍药、黄芩、柴胡。内有恶露上冲，导致胸胁疼痛的，用大黄、桃仁。血刺痛（瘀血阻滞引起的刺痛）的，用当归。内伤发热的，用黄连。口渴的，用白茯苓。一切其他疾病，都依据前述方法，只是口渴时去掉半夏，气喘咳嗽时去掉人参，腹胀时忌用甘草。
妇人带下病，世人都认为是寒证，这是很大的错误。所谓的带下病，是任脉的疾病。医经说：任脉，起于中极穴之下，向上经过阴毛际，沿着腹部内侧上行，经过关元穴，直到咽喉，再向上至面颊进入目眶。注释说：任脉从胞宫上行，经过带脉，贯通络脉而上行，然而其发病部位，正是在带脉的分野，且症状表现为淋沥向下，所以称为带下病。其中赤白带下的说法，与痢疾的意义相同，并没有单纯的寒证。治法说：出现头晕目眩、口苦舌干、咽喉不利、小便赤涩、大便涩滞、脉象实而数的，都是热证。
Using bitter-cold herbs as the sovereign (Jun, 君主/主药): Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex), Lianhua (Coptidis Rhizoma), Zhi Mu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), and Sheng Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix prepared with yellow wine). Using sweet-warm herbs as the assistant (Zuo, 佐药/辅佐药): Huangqi (Astragali Radix), Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), and Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma). Using large-pungent herbs to resolve knots as the minister (Chen, 臣药/辅助君药): Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructus), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), and Gaoben (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma). Using pungent-warm herbs to invigorate blood and remove stasis: Danggui Shao (tip of Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Sumu (Sappan Lignum), Honghua (Carthami Flos), and Mudanpi (Moutan Cortex). If the pulse is floating (Fu Mai, 浮脉), the pathogen is in the exterior; it is appropriate to unblock the meridians using: Lianhua, Huangqin, Lianqiao, Danggui, Renshen, Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Binglang (Arecae Semen), Huangbai, and Zexie (Alismatis Rhizoma). For lesions from the waist upwards to the head, Zhike (Aurantii Fructus) remains as a guiding herb to direct the medicinal action to the ulcer site. [Herbs for] resolving toxicity and reducing swelling: Niubangzi (Arctii Fructus); [herbs for] discharging pus: Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex); [herbs that] enter the Heart meridian to guide blood transformation into sweat without ulceration, or for skin injury: Wangguagen (Trichosanthis Radix), Sanleng (Sparganii Rhizoma), Ezhu (Curcumae Rhizoma), and Huangyaozi (Dioscoreae Hypoglaucae Rhizoma); [for severe pain]: Huangqin, Lianhua, Huangbai, Zhi Mu. If the pulse is deep (Chen Mai, 沉脉), the pathogen is in the interior; one should regulate and purify the zang-fu organs. After purgation, add Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) to the aforementioned formulas, aiming for bowel movement, and determine the dosage according to the patient's deficiency or excess. For pain, use only Danggui and Huangqi to alleviate it.
For pregnant women near term who have not yet delivered, if any disease occurs, first use Huangqin and Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) to stabilize the fetus, then administer medicines to treat the disease. For fever and heat in the muscles, use Lianhua, Huangqin, Huangqi, and Renshen. For abdominal pain, use Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) and Gancao. For colds, follow the aforementioned methods for releasing the exterior. For various postpartum diseases, avoid using Shaoyao, Huangqin, and Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix). For upward rushing of retained lochia causing chest and hypochondriac pain, use Dahuang and Taoren (Persicae Semen). For stabbing pain caused by blood stasis, use Danggui. For internal injury fever, use Lianhua. For thirst, use Baifuling (Poria). For all other diseases, follow the aforementioned methods, except removing Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) when there is thirst, removing Renshen when there is wheezing and cough, and avoiding Gancao when there is abdominal distension.
Regarding leukorrhea in women, the world generally considers it a cold syndrome, which is a great error. The so-called leukorrhea is a disease of the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel). The classics state: The Ren Mai originates below the Zhongji point, ascends above the pubic hair, follows the interior of the abdomen, passes through the Guanyuan point, reaches the throat, ascends to the chin, follows the face, and enters the eyes. Annotations explain: The Ren Mai ascends from the uterus, crosses the Dai Mai (Girdle Vessel), and connects through collaterals to ascend. However, its pathological manifestation occurs precisely at the distribution of the Dai Mai, with symptoms dripping downwards, hence it is called leukorrhea. The description of red and white discharge shares the same meaning as dysentery, and there is no case of pure cold syndrome. Therapeutic principles state: Symptoms such as dizziness, bitter taste in the mouth and dry tongue, difficulty in the throat, reddish and scanty urine, constipation, and a rapid and full pulse are all signs of heat syndromes.
