回答：食物进入胃中，脉道才能运行；水液进入经脉，血液才能生成。胃是水谷汇聚的海。如果肠胃虚弱，被风邪以及冷、热之气侵袭，就不能腐熟消化谷物和食物，先出现泄泻，随后转变为下利（腹泻）。感受热邪则大便色赤，虚寒则大便色白。谷气在内亏损，津液耗损减少，所以下利而月经反而中断。医经说，下利停止后月经应当自然来潮，所以适宜先治疗下利。
大断下丸，治疗下利不止。

回答：这是妇人因患伤寒病，热邪侵入血室（子宫/冲脉）所致。如何证明这一点呢？“室”就是屋室，指可以停留的地方。人体的血室，是营血停留之处，经脉交汇之所，也就是冲脉。冲脉被称为血海。王冰说：“阴静海满而去血。”《内经》说：“任脉通畅，太冲脉旺盛，月经按时来潮”，说的就是这个道理。如果正值月经来潮时，感受寒邪搏结，就会导致热入血室。其症状表现为白天神志清醒，傍晚则胡言乱语，像看见鬼怪一样。这就是热入血室证。如果进行治疗，应当不要损伤胃气，也不要攻上焦和中焦，病必自愈。

Answer: When food enters the stomach, the mai (vessel/channel) pathways then circulate; when water enters the jing (channels), its blood is then formed. The stomach is the sea of water and grain. If the intestines and stomach are weak and are invaded by wind pathogens along with cold or heat qi, they cannot rot and ferment grain and food. This first leads to diarrhea, which subsequently transforms into li (dysentery/profuse watery stool). If affected by heat, the stool will be red; if deficient-cold, it will be white. Due to the internal deficiency of grain qi and the consumption/reduction of jin-ye (body fluids), li occurs while the menses unexpectedly cease. The classic states: "When li stops, the menses should naturally resume." Therefore, it is appropriate to treat the li first.

Answer: This condition arises in women suffering from Shanghan (Cold Damage disease), where heat enters the xueshi (blood chamber). How do we know this? "Shi" means room or chamber, a place where things can stop. In the human body, the xueshi is the location where ying-blood (nutritive blood) stops and meridians converge; it refers to the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel). The Chong Mai is called the "Sea of Blood." Wang Bing stated: "When Yin is still and the sea is full, blood flows out." The Neijing states: "When the Ren Mai is unobstructed and the Tai Chong Mai is vigorous, menstruation arrives on time." This is what is meant. If menstruation happens to occur and is constrained by cold pathogens, heat enters the xueshi. The symptoms include clear consciousness during the day but delirious speech resembling hallucinations ("seeing ghosts") at dusk. This is Heat Entering the Blood Chamber. Treatment should avoid damaging Wei Qi (Stomach Qi) and attacking the Upper and Middle Jiao (Upper and Middle Burners); the disease will heal itself.
