中华素来被称为讲究礼教的国度，男女之间的界限非常严格。妇女深居内室，不了解社交往来，因此对生殖器讳莫如深。
由此引发的疾病也秘而不宣，对家人如此，对医生也是如此。医生想要在三指宽的一寸之地准确判断出是什么病，确实是非常困难的。所以古人有“宁愿治疗十个男子，也不愿治疗一个妇人”的谚语。而考察古代医籍，如《内经》、《难经》、《金匮要略》，对于女性生殖器的解剖、生理、病理，大多语焉不详，学者既不能从典籍中了解生殖器的生理病理，又无法通过尸体解剖进行实地验证，只能凭借个人的管窥之见妄测体内的脏器，于是各种说法纷起，莫衷一是，使读者如同堕入五里雾中一般。近来西方风气东渐，社交公开，顽固的空气为之一变，延请女医也不再像过去那样困难了。只是我国的妇科书籍除了从气化角度推阐理论外，尚觉精当确切，但涉及形体实质方面的内容大都是凭空臆测，难以取信于人。如果有人能取西方人的生理病理学来印证中国古籍，使得数千年来蒙混的说法昭然若揭，那么治疗之道也有常规可循，这不仅是医学的一大功劳，更是造福于女性的大功德啊。本书广泛采集并简要选取，折衷至当，又有折肱老人（晓五公晚年自号折肱老人）在前鉴定，永言先生在后参注，更觉得尽善尽美，赞叹达到极致。虽然在形体实质方面间或有沿袭谬误之处，但这也是时代造成的，订正的责任在于后人，怎么能苛求作者呢？
中华民国十三年八月，晚学仲圭氏沈熊璋谨书于非非室
China has long been known as a nation of propriety and ethics, where the distinction between men and women is strictly observed. Women reside quietly in the inner quarters, ignorant of social intercourse; thus, they are extremely reticent regarding the genital organs.
Consequently, diseases originating from the genital organs are also kept secret and not disclosed, whether to family members or to physicians. For a physician to accurately diagnose the specific disease within the small area covered by three fingers, it is indeed exceedingly difficult. Hence, there is an old saying: "It is better to treat ten men than one woman." An examination of ancient texts, such as *Neijing* (The Inner Canon), *Nanjing* (The Classic of Difficult Issues), and *Jingui Yaolue* (Essential Prescriptions of the Golden Cabinet), reveals that anatomical, physiological, and pathological descriptions of female genitalia are mostly vague. Scholars could neither understand the physiology and pathology of the genital organs from these records nor verify them through post-mortem dissection. Relying solely on personal conjecture about internal organs, various theories emerged without consensus, leaving readers bewildered as if lost in a dense fog. Recently, with the influx of Western culture and the opening of social interactions, the atmosphere of conservatism has changed, and engaging female physicians has become less difficult than in the past. However, except for those Chinese gynecological books that elaborate on theories based on Qi transformation—which remain precise—those dealing with physical structures are largely speculative and hard to trust. If someone were to use Western physiology and pathology to verify ancient Chinese texts, exposing the ambiguities that have persisted for thousands of years, treatment methods would then follow standard principles. This would be not only a great contribution to medicine but also a significant blessing for women. This book collects extensively and selects concisely, achieving a balanced and appropriate synthesis. It has been authenticated by Zhe Gong Lao Ren (an honorary title of Xiao Wu Gong in his later years) at the beginning and annotated by Yong Yan Xian Sheng at the end, making it perfect and admirable. Although there are some instances of inherited errors regarding physical structures, this is due to the limitations of the times; the responsibility for correction lies with future generations, so one should not harshly demand perfection from the author.
