〔郭〕产后腹胀满闷，呕吐不定者何？答曰∶败血散于脾胃，脾受之则不能运化精
微，而成腹胀。胃受之则不能受纳水谷，而生吐逆。医者不识，若以寻常治胀止吐药治
之，病与药不相干，转更伤动正气，疾愈难治，但服抵圣汤则愈。
〔薛〕前证若败血伤于脾胃，宜用前方。若饮食停于脾，宜用六君、浓朴。若饮食伤
于胃，宜用六君子汤，大凡损其脾者，当节其饮食为善。一产妇患前证，或用抵当汤，
败血已下，前证益甚，小腹重坠，似欲去后。余谓此脾气虚而下陷，用补中益气汤加炮姜，
温补脾气，重坠如失。又用六君子汤而安。
抵圣汤入生姜半两，焙干水煎。（方见胎前腹胀。薛氏云∶此方最宜用之。）
《局方》平胃散加人参亦可。
〔郭〕产后四肢浮肿者，败血乘虚停积，循经流入四肢，留淫日深，却还不得，腐坏
如水故令面黄，四肢浮肿，医人不识，便作水气治之。凡治水多用导水药，极虚人。夫
产后既虚，又以药虚之，是谓重虚，往往多致夭枉。但服小调经散，血行肿消则愈。
陈无择曰∶产后浮肿多端，有自怀妊肿至产后不退者，亦有产后失于将理，外感寒
暑风湿，内则喜怒忧惊，血与气搏，留滞经络，气分血分不可不辨，要当随所因脉证治
之，宜得其情。小调经散治血分固效，但力浅难凭，不若吴茱萸汤、枳术汤、夺魂散、大
调经散，皆要药也。
又论曰∶夫产后劳伤血气，腠理虚则为风邪所乘，邪搏于气，不得宣越，故令虚肿、
轻浮，是邪搏于气，气肿也。若皮肤如熟李状，则变为水肿，气肿者发汗即愈，水肿者，
利小便瘥也。
〔洁古〕如产后风寒在表，面目四肢浮肿，宜局方七圣丸，白汤下，日加，以利为
度。如浮肿至膝，喘嗽，加木香、槟榔倍之，谓气多也。如浮肿又头痛昏冒，加羌活、川
芎，谓风多也。如只浮肿，止七圣丸本方服。
〔东垣〕中满分消丸（杂病胀满）。用四物汤吞之。
〔丹〕产后肿，必用大补气血为主，少佐以苍术、茯苓，使水自利。
〔薛〕前证若寒水侮土，宜养脾肺。若气虚浮肿，宜益脾胃。若水气浮肿，宜补中
气。当参杂证本门主治。一产妇饮食少思，服消导之剂，四肢浮肿。余谓中气不足，朝
用补中益气汤，夕用六君子汤而愈。后因怒腹胀，误服沉香化气丸，吐泻不止，饮食不
进，小便不利，肚腹四肢浮肿，用金匮加减肾气丸而愈。一产妇泄泻，四肢面目浮肿，
喘促恶寒。余谓脾肺虚寒，用六君加姜、桂而泄泻愈，用补中益气而脾胃健。
〔杜〕张宣徽侍宠产后半月，忽患浮肿，急召产科医治，经半月不瘥，病势转剧。召
杜治之，杜至曰∶诸医作何病？张曰∶皆云水气浮肿。杜曰∶非也，且水气发咳嗽，小
便涩是也。今爱宠小便不涩，不作咳嗽，惟手足寒，乃血脏虚，气塞不通，流面生浮肿。
遂用益血和气药治之。旬日病去七八，经半月全愈。所用之药，乃《灵苑方》牡丹散也。

【郭稽中】产后出现腹部胀满、胸闷，且呕吐不定的原因是什么？回答说：这是败血（产后未能排出的瘀血）散乱于脾胃所致。脾脏受邪则不能运化水谷精微，从而形成腹胀；胃腑受邪则不能受纳饮食水谷，从而产生呕吐逆气。医生如果不明此理，若用治疗普通腹胀和止吐的药物来治疗，药不对症，反而更伤正气，疾病将更难治愈。只需服用抵圣汤即可痊愈。
【薛己】上述证候如果是败血损伤了脾胃，适宜使用前面的方剂。如果是饮食停滞在脾，适宜使用六君子汤加浓朴。如果是饮食损伤了胃，适宜使用六君子汤。大凡损伤脾气的情况，应当节制饮食为好。有一位产妇患上述证候，有人使用了抵当汤，虽然败血已下，但前证反而更加严重，小腹沉重下坠，感觉有便意。我认为这是脾气虚弱而下陷，于是用补中益气汤加炮姜，以温补脾气，沉重下坠感随即消失。后又用六君子汤调理而安。
抵圣汤加入生姜半两，焙干后用水煎服。（该方见胎前腹胀章节。薛氏说：此方最适宜使用。）《局方》中的平胃散加人参也可以使用。
【郭稽中】产后四肢浮肿的原因，是败血乘虚停积，顺着经络流入四肢，停留浸淫日久，无法回流，腐败如水，所以导致面色发黄，四肢浮肿。医生不认识此病，便当作水气病来治疗。凡是治疗水气多用导水利尿药，这对极度虚弱的人不利。既然产后身体已经虚弱，再用药物使其更虚，这叫做“重虚”，往往会导致早逝。只需服用小调经散，血行通畅则肿胀消退即可痊愈。
陈无择说：产后浮肿有多种原因，有的从怀孕时开始肿直到产后不退的；也有的是产后调养不当，外感寒暑风湿，内因喜怒忧惊，导致血与气相搏结，留滞于经络，气分和血分的病机不可不辨别，一定要根据病因脉证进行治疗，要探求其真情实状。小调经散治疗血分浮肿固然有效，但药力浅薄难以依赖，不如吴茱萸汤、枳术汤、夺魂散、大调经散，这些都是关键药物。
又论述道：产后劳损伤及血气，腠理空虚则被风邪所乘，邪气搏结于气分，不得宣发透越，所以导致虚肿、轻浮，这是邪气搏结于气，属于气肿。如果皮肤像熟李子那样光亮，则转变为水肿。气肿者发汗即可痊愈，水肿者利小便即可好转。
【张元素】如产后风寒在表，面目四肢浮肿，适宜用《局方》七圣丸，白开水送服，每日递增剂量，以利下为度。如果浮肿至膝盖，伴有喘咳，加倍使用木香、槟榔，因为这是气滞较多。如果浮肿又伴有头痛昏沉，加倍使用羌活、川芎，因为这是风邪较多。如果只是浮肿，只服用七圣丸原方。
【朱丹溪】产后浮肿，必须以大补气血为主，稍加苍术、茯苓，使水液自然排出。
【薛己】上述证候如果是寒水侮土（肾水反克脾土），适宜养脾肺。如果是气虚浮肿，适宜益脾胃。如果是水气浮肿，适宜补中气。应当参考杂证本门的主治方法。一位产妇饮食少思，服用消导药剂后，四肢浮肿。我认为这是中气不足，早晨用补中益气汤，晚上用六君子汤而愈。后来因生气导致腹胀，误服沉香化气丸，导致吐泻不止，饮食不进，小便不利，肚腹四肢浮肿，用金匮加减肾气丸而愈。一位产妇泄泻，四肢面目浮肿，喘促恶寒。我认为这是脾肺虚寒，用六君子汤加生姜、肉桂而泄泻愈，用补中益气汤而脾胃健。
【杜自斋】张宣徽的宠妾产后半月，忽然患浮肿，急忙召产科医生医治，经过半个月未好，病情转剧。召杜自斋诊治，杜到后问：其他医生诊断为什么病？张说：都说是水气浮肿。杜说：不对，水气发作通常伴有咳嗽、小便涩痛。现在爱妾小便不涩，也不咳嗽，只有手足寒冷，这是血脏（肝心等藏血之脏）虚，气塞不通，流注面部生浮肿。于是用益血和气药治疗。十天后病去七八，半个月后全愈。所用的药，是《灵苑方》中的牡丹散。该方说：治疗血脏风虚冷，现在产科家多用此药，治疗产后诸病如神，也就是更名后的损金汤。（牡丹散见血晕章节。）一位产妇产后四肢浮肿，寒热往来，这是因为败血流入经络，渗入四肢，气喘咳嗽，胸膈不利，口吐酸水，两胁疼痛，于是用旋复花汤，微微出汗后逐渐缓解；频服小调经散，用泽兰梗煎汤调下，肿气逐渐消退。

[Guo Jizhong] What is the cause of abdominal distension, chest fullness, and irregular vomiting after childbirth? The answer is: This is caused by retained blood (postpartum stasis) scattering into the Spleen and Stomach. When the Spleen is affected, it cannot transport and transform essential nutrients, leading to abdominal distension. When the Stomach is affected, it cannot receive and digest food and fluids, leading to vomiting and regurgitation. If physicians do not understand this, and treat it with ordinary medications for distension and vomiting, the medicine will be irrelevant to the disease, further damaging the healthy Qi, making the illness harder to cure. Simply administering Disheng Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Angelica Decoction) will result in recovery.
[Xue Ji] For the aforementioned syndrome caused by retained blood damaging the Spleen and Stomach, the previous formula is appropriate. If food stagnation is in the Spleen, Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) added with Hou Po (Magnolia Bark) is appropriate. If food injury is in the Stomach, Liu Jun Zi Tang is appropriate. Generally, when the Spleen is damaged, regulating diet is beneficial. A postpartum patient suffered from the aforementioned syndrome; someone used Didang Tang (Ephedra and Rhubarb Decoction). Although the retained blood was expelled, the symptoms worsened, with a heavy, bearing-down sensation in the lower abdomen and a feeling of needing to defecate. I considered this to be deficiency of Spleen Qi with sinking. I used Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) added with Pao Jiang (Roasted Ginger) to warm and tonify Spleen Qi, resolving the heavy sensation. Subsequently, Liu Jun Zi Tang was used to stabilize the condition.
Disheng Tang includes Ban Liang (approx. 15g) of fresh ginger, roasted dry and decocted in water. (See Abdominal Distension during Pregnancy section. Xue stated: This formula is most suitable.) Pingwei San (Stomach-Pacifying Powder) from *Ju Fang* added with Renshen (Ginseng) may also be used.
[Guo Jizhong] The cause of edema in the four limbs after childbirth is retained blood accumulating due to deficiency, flowing along the meridians into the limbs, lingering deeply, failing to return, rotting like water, thus causing yellow complexion and limb edema. Physicians unfamiliar with this condition often treat it as fluid retention disease. Treatments for fluid retention mostly use diuretic drugs, which are detrimental to extremely deficient individuals. Since the postpartum state is already deficient, using drugs to further deplete it constitutes "double deficiency," often leading to premature death. Simply administering Xiao Tiaojing San (Minor Regulating Menstruation Powder) allows blood circulation to restore and swelling to subside, resulting in recovery.
Chen Wuyue stated: Postpartum edema has various causes. Some swellings begin during pregnancy and persist postpartum. Others result from improper postpartum care, external invasion of cold, heat, wind, or dampness, or internal emotional disturbances (anger, joy, worry, fright), causing Qi and Blood to clash and stagnate in the meridians. One must distinguish between Qi-level and Blood-level pathologies and treat according to the specific etiology, pulse, and symptoms to ascertain the true nature. While Xiao Tiaojing San is effective for Blood-level edema, its action is mild and unreliable. Wu Zhu Yu Tang (Evodia Decoction), Zhizhu Tang (Immature Bitter Orange and Atractylodes Decoction), Duohun San (Soul-Rescuing Powder), and Da Tiaojing San (Major Regulating Menstruation Powder) are more critical remedies.
Furthermore, it is discussed that postpartum labor damages Qi and Blood. When the interstices (cou li) are deficient, Wind pathogens invade. Pathogens clashing with Qi prevent its free diffusion, causing deficient swelling and lightness; this is Qi-level swelling due to pathogen-Qi interaction. If the skin resembles a ripe plum, it transforms into Water-level edema. Qi-level swelling resolves with sweating; Water-level edema resolves with promoting urination.
[Zhang Yuansu] If postpartime Wind-Cold remains in the exterior, causing facial and limb edema, Qisheng Wan (Seven-Sage Pill) from *Ju Fang* should be used, taken with warm water, increasing the dose daily until bowel movement occurs. If edema extends to the knees with wheezing and coughing, double the dosage of Muxiang (Aucklandia Root) and Binglang (Areca Seed), indicating excessive Qi stagnation. If edema is accompanied by headache and dizziness, double the dosage of Qianghuo (Notopterygium Rhizome) and Chuanxiong (Ligusticum Rhizome), indicating excessive Wind. If only edema is present, take the original Qisheng Wan.
[Li Dongyuan] Zhongman Fenxiao Wan (Middle Fullness Dispersing Pill) (for miscellaneous diseases with distension). Swallow with Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction).
[Zhu Danxi] Postpartum edema must be primarily treated by greatly tonifying Qi and Blood, with minor additions of Cangzhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) and Fuling (Poria), allowing fluids to drain naturally.
[Xue Ji] For the aforementioned syndrome, if Cold-Water insults Earth (Kidney Water overacting on Spleen Earth), nourishing Spleen and Lung is appropriate. If Qi-deficiency edema, benefiting Spleen and Stomach is appropriate. If Water-Qi edema, tonifying Central Qi is appropriate. Refer to the treatment principles in the respective miscellaneous disease sections. A postpartum patient had poor appetite and took digestive aids, resulting in limb edema. I diagnosed insufficient Central Qi, prescribing Buzhong Yiqi Tang in the morning and Liu Jun Zi Tang in the evening, leading to recovery. Later, anger caused abdominal distension; mistakenly taking Chenxiang Huaqi Wan (Agarwood Promoting Qi Pill) led to continuous vomiting and diarrhea, anorexia, dysuria, and abdominal/limb edema, which resolved with Jin Gui Jiashen Shenqi Wan (Modified Kidney Qi Pill from the Golden Cabinet). Another postpartum patient with diarrhea, limb/facial edema, wheezing, and aversion to cold was diagnosed with Spleen-Lung Deficient-Cold. Liu Jun Zi Tang added with Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger) and Rougui (Cinnamon Bark) cured the diarrhea; Buzhong Yiqi Tang strengthened the Spleen and Stomach.
[Du Zizhai] Zhang Xuanhui’s concubine developed sudden edema half a month postpartum. Obstetricians treated her for half a month without improvement, and the condition worsened. Du was summoned. Du asked: What did other doctors diagnose? Zhang replied: All said it was Water-Qi Edema. Du said: Incorrect. Water-Qi typically presents with cough and dysuria. Your concubine has neither; she only has cold hands and feet. This is deficiency of the Blood Organs (Liver/Heart) with Qi obstruction, flowing to the face causing edema. He treated her with herbs to nourish Blood and harmonize Qi. After ten days, seven or eight parts of the illness were gone; fully recovered in half a month. The prescription was Mudan San (Moutan Powder) from *Ling Yuan Fang*. It states: Treats Wind-Cold Deficiency of Blood Organs. Currently widely used by obstetricians for postpartum ailments with miraculous effect, also known as Sunjin Tang (Damage-Gold Decoction). (Mudan San see Syncope section.) A postpartum patient with limb edema, alternating chills and fever, suffered because retained blood flowed into meridians and limbs, causing wheezing, cough, chest oppression, sour regurgitation, and hypochondriac pain. She was given Xuanfuhua Tang (Inula Flower Decoction), resolving slightly through mild sweating; frequent administration of Xiao Tiaojing San, taken with Zelan Geng (Agastache Stem) decoction, gradually reduced the swelling.
Da Tiaojing San (Major Regulating Menstruation Powder) treats postpartum distension/fullness, wheezing, irritability, thirst, and dysuria. (See Alternating Chills and Fever after Childbirth section.)
