(附论)
妊娠月份未满,胎气尚未完全形成而分娩的,称为半产。这通常是因为孕妇冲任二脉气虚,无法滋养胎儿,导致胎气不固;或者是受到撞击、闪挫、坠落等外力影响,致使气血受损动荡;也可能是因为患有热病、温疟等疾病所致,这些情况都会导致半产。张仲景曾说:“寒邪与虚损相互搏结”,这就叫做半产。他又说,半产在民间俗称小产,无论是怀孕三四月还是五六月发生的,都称为半产,这是因为此时男女胎儿已经成形。此外,还可能是因为忧愁恐惧、突然暴怒、过度悲伤,或者因劳累用力、被打扑伤、触犯暑热等原因引起。切记不要使用黑神散,因为它含有热性药物,恐怕会引发其他疾病。只适宜使用玉烛散、和经汤之类的方剂。《便产须知》中说:小产不可轻视,调养的程度应当是正常分娩的十倍。又说:半产后会出现肌肉腐烂的情况,需要补益其虚损,促进肌肉生长,补充气血,祛除风邪,养护脏气,调养程度超过正常分娩的十倍,没有不能痊愈的。应当仔细审察这一点。
方剂
安宫散:治疗妊娠不满一个月发生的小产,安胎效果如神。
黑附子(炮制)、阿胶(用蛤粉炒至粉末状)、北五味子、山药、黄芪(炙)、当归、熟地黄、赤芍药、木香、甘草(炙,各一钱)、糯米(一勺,炒)、生姜(半两,炒)。以上药材切碎成末。每次服用五钱,加苎麻根三寸,水一盏半,煎煮。

干姜(炮制)、阿胶(切碎,用蛤粉炒)、川芎、五味子(各一两)、白术(黄土炒)、黄芪(去芦头,蜜炙)、当归(各半两)。以上药材切碎成散剂。每次服用四钱,水一盏半,煎煮,通口服下,不限时候。
生地黄汤:治疗妊娠期间胎气受损动荡,气血不调,或因撞击闪挫坠落,导致堕胎,称为半产。以及产后气血不和,恶露不尽,腹中疼痛。
生地黄(焙干,一两)、大黄(略加煨制)、芍药、白茯苓(去皮)、当归(切片,酒炒)、细辛(去苗)、甘草(炙)、黄芩(去心)、桂枝(去皮,各半两)。以上药材捣碎。每次服用五钱,用水一盏半,加入生姜一块大枣大小,拍碎,煎煮。
人参汤:治疗半产后,阴道流血过多,心惊胆战,身体颤抖,头晕眼花,或忽冷忽热,脐腹部虚胀疼痛。
人参、麦冬(去心)、生地黄(焙干)、当归(切片炒)、芍药、黄芪(切碎)、白茯苓(去皮)、甘草(炙,各一两)。
芒硝饮:治疗半产后恶露不尽,气机攻冲疼痛,血液结成块状,凝结堵塞脐腹部,烦闷胀满,心神扰乱。
芒硝、蒲黄、川芎、桂枝(去皮,不见火)、鬼箭羽(各半两)、生地黄(焙干,一两)、桃仁(去皮尖,炒,半两)。以上药材捣碎。每次服用三钱,用水一盏,煎至七分,去渣滓,不限时候温服。另一版本有人参,无鬼箭羽,名为蒲黄汤。
延胡索汤:治疗半产后气血不畅,恶露断续不定。
延胡索、当归(切片炒)、芍药、川芎、桂枝(去皮)、甘草(炙,各一两)。以上药材捣碎。每次服用三钱,用水一盏,煎至七分,去渣滓,不限时候温服。
夺命丸(出自《简易方》):专门治疗妇人小产,阴道流血过多,死胎留在腹中。患者怕冷,手指、嘴唇、口唇、指甲呈现青白色,面色黄黑,或者胎气上抢心脏,导致胸闷窒息欲死,冷汗自出,气喘胸闷不能进食,或者吃了有毒食物,或者误服草药,损伤胎气,阴道流血不止,但胎体尚未损坏,服用此药可安胎;如果胎已死,服用此药可使死胎排出。
牡丹皮、白茯苓、桂心、桃仁(制过)、赤芍药(各等分)。以上药材研为细末,用蜂蜜制成如弹子大小的丸剂。每次服用一丸,细细咀嚼,用淡醋汤送下。若病情紧急,快速进服两丸,直到胎体腐烂,腹部危险严重时,可以立即取出。
羚羊角饮:治疗半产后心烦闷倦。
羚羊角屑(半两)、芍药(一两)、枳实(去瓤,麸炒,三钱)、人参(一两)、麦冬(去心,焙干,半两)。以上药材捣碎。每次服用三钱,用水一盏,煎至七分,去渣滓,不限时候温服。
旋复花汤(出自《金匮要略》):治疗妇人半产后漏下出血。
旋复花(三两)、葱(十四茎)、新绛(少许)。以上药材用水三升,煮取一升,一次性服下。
香豉汤(出自《千金方》):治疗半产后阴道流血不尽,苦于往来烦闷欲死。

治小产恶露淋沥不断,将近一个月,各种治疗方法无效。(出自《便产须知》)
用五灵脂炒至微焦,研为细末,用米饭糊制成如梧桐子大小的丸剂,米汤吞服三十丸或四十丸,也能应手见效。另一方法用酒送服也可以。
全生活血汤(出自《兰室秘藏》):治疗妇人在分娩及半产漏下之后,昏晕冒昧,不省人事,闭目无知觉。
这是因为血液突然大量流失,有形之血离去,心神失去供养。心和胞络属于君火和相火,得到血液则安宁,失去血液则危险。火气炽盛,就会使人昏晕冒昧。火气乘袭肺脏,导致闭目不省人事。这是阴血突然离去,不能镇抚,导致血亏损。往往医生使用滑石、甘草、石膏之类,这些都是辛甘大寒的药物,能泄气分之热,但这会导致血亏的同时又泻气,即阴亏同时泻阳,使两者都受伤,反而变成不足虚劳的病证。昏迷不省,是上焦心肺有热。这是无形之热,如果用寒凉药物驱使其下行,岂不知上焦的病,都属于表证,乃是阴证,出汗就能痊愈。现在反而用下法,幸好没死,但气血突然亏损,生命怎么能长久存活?又不知道《内经》说过:病气不足,宜补不宜泻。凡是闭目之病,都属于阴,宜汗不宜下。又不知道伤寒郁冒,得汗则愈。因此禁用寒凉药。分娩半产,原本元气没有生病,只是突然失去了血液,亡血就要补血,这有什么可疑的呢?补充血液则神明昌盛。平时血液下降亡失,现在应当补益并升举它。心得血液滋养则神志清明不昏沉。如果血液突然大量下行,这是秋冬时令之气大旺的表现,现在将其升举以助阳气,则眼睛睁开,神志不昏迷。现在制定一方,补血养血,生血益阳,以补益手足厥阴经的不足。
蔓荆子(五分)、藁本(一钱五分)、羌活(二钱)、独活(二钱)、升麻(三钱)、葛根(二钱)、白芍药(三钱)、甘草(炙,二钱)、柴胡(去苗,二钱)、当归身(酒洗,二钱)、生地黄(一钱,夏季加上)、熟地黄(一钱)、川芎(一钱五分)、防风(二钱,诸阳既陷,何以知之?因血下脱故也)、红花(三分)、细辛(五分)。以上药材捣碎。每次服用五钱,水二盏,煎至一盏,去渣滓,稍热时服用,饭前。
延龄散(出自《大全良方》):治疗半产后补虚,生肌肉,平复正气。
桑寄生、当归、石斛、川芎、干地黄、续断、牛膝(各半两)、人参、泽兰、独活、防风、木香、五味子、细辛、官桂(不见火,各一两)。以上药材研为细末。每次服用三钱,空腹时加盐煎服。或者炼蜜制成如梧桐子大小的丸剂,空腹时用盐汤任服五十丸,更加巧妙。
治疗半产出血过多,无法禁止,忽然气闷不识人,适宜服用此方。(出自《护命方》)
吴茱萸(三钱)、石斛(去头)、当归(各半两)、续断、苍术、黄芪、防风、牡蛎(火煅)、川芎、浓朴(去皮,姜制)、龙骨、炙艾叶、独活(各一钱)。以上药材研为细末。每次服用五钱,水一盏半,煎至一盏三分,加入红枣二枚,同煎,空腹去渣服用。如果出血过多,用蜜制成如梧桐子大小的丸剂,空腹时用盐米汤送下三十丸,只需进服一两副。因为此药不可服用渣滓。服用此药数日后,血止住。长期服用可补虚产子。
治疗胎死腹中,半产不下。(出自《护命方》)
官桂(去皮,一两)、牡丹皮(去心)、川芎、葵子。以上药材细罗研为末。每次服用五钱,用浓煎的葱汤调服。
治疗一切妇人半产后损伤正气,不能调养,经过两三个月恶露不止,面色黄悴,饮食减少,无力,脏腑虚冷。(出自《护命方》)

当归、五味子、牛膝、白芷、独活、干地黄、蓬莪术、防风、巴戟天(去心)、石斛、延胡索、官桂(去皮)、细辛(去叶)、鳖甲(醋炙)、木香、萆薢、藁本(各一钱)。以上药材研为细末,炼蜜制成如梧桐子大小的丸剂。早晨空腹时用盐汤送下五十丸。

When delivery occurs before the gestational months are complete and the fetal qi (vital energy) is not fully formed, it is called Ban Chan (Half Delivery). This is generally due to the deficiency of Qi in the Chong and Ren meridians in the pregnant woman, which fails to nourish the fetus, leading to unstable fetal qi. Alternatively, it may result from external trauma such as bumps, sprains, or falls, causing damage and agitation to the Qi and Blood. It can also be caused by febrile diseases or warm malaria. Zhang Zhongjing stated: "Cold pathogen and deficiency interact," which is named Ban Chan. He further said that Ban Chan is commonly referred to as Xiao Chan (Small Delivery) in folk terms; whether it occurs at three or four months or five or six months, it is all considered Ban Chan because the male or female fetus has already taken shape. Additionally, it may be caused by worry, fear, sudden rage, excessive grief, overexertion, physical injury from blows, or exposure to summer heat. One must strictly avoid using Hei Shen San (Black Divine Powder), as it contains hot-natured herbs, which might induce other illnesses. Instead, formulas such as Yu Zhu San (Jade Candle Powder) and He Jing Tang (Harmonizing Meridian Decoction) should be used. *Bian Chan Xu Zhi* (Necessary Knowledge for Childbirth) states: "Small delivery must not be underestimated; convalescence should be ten times more intensive than normal delivery." It further states: "After half delivery, muscle tissue may rot; one must tonify the deficiency, promote muscle growth, replenish Qi and Blood, dispel wind pathogens, and nourish the Zang organs. Convalescence exceeding that of normal delivery by tenfold will ensure recovery without exception. This point requires careful consideration."

Treatment for continuous dripping lochia after small delivery lasting nearly a month, unresponsive to various treatments (from *Bian Chan Xu Zhi*).
Stir-fry Wulingzhi (Trogopterus Dung) until slightly scorched, grind into powder, bind with rice paste to form pills the size of tung seeds. Swallow 30–40 pills with millet drink. Efficacy is immediate. Another method uses wine for administration.
Quansheng Huoxue Tang (Complete Life Blood-Invigorating Decoction) (from *Lanshi Micang*): Treats women experiencing fainting, loss of consciousness, closed eyes, and lack of sensation after delivery or half delivery with spotting.
This occurs because blood suddenly drains away; when tangible blood leaves, the Shen (Spirit) loses nourishment. The Heart and Bao Luo (Uterine Collaterals) belong to Ministerial Fire and Sovereign Fire; they are peaceful with blood and endangered without it. Excessive fire causes fainting. If fire attacks the Lung, it leads to closed eyes and unconsciousness. This is sudden loss of Yin Blood failing to anchor Yang, resulting in blood deficiency. Often, physicians use Shi (Talcum), Gancao (Licorice), and Shigao (Gypsum), which are acrid-sweet and overly cold herbs that drain Qi-heat. This constitutes draining Qi alongside Blood deficiency, i.e., draining Yang alongside Yin deficiency, injuring both and creating deficiency-wasting disease. Fainting is due to Heat in the Upper Jiao (Heart and Lungs). This is formless Heat. Using cold herbs to force it downward ignores that Upper Jiao diseases belong to the Exterior and are Yin patterns, cured by sweating. Purging instead risks death from sudden Qi-Blood depletion. As stated in *Neijing*: When pathogenic Qi is deficient, tonification is preferred over purgation. Closed-eye diseases belong to Yin, favoring sweating over purgation. In Shanghan (Cold Damage) Yu Mao (Depression and Vertigo), sweating brings cure. Thus, cold herbs are prohibited. Delivery and half delivery do not inherently damage Yuan Qi; only sudden blood loss occurs. Lost blood must be replenished. Tonifying blood restores Shen. Normally, blood descends and is lost; here, it must be tonified and lifted. The Heart receives blood to nourish Shen, preventing dullness. Sudden blood descent mimics Autumn/Winter dominance; lifting it assists Yang, opening eyes and clearing Shen. This formula tonifies, nourishes, generates blood, and benefits Yang to address insufficiency in the Hand and Foot Jueyin meridians.
