《易》曰∶天地 ，万物化醇，男女媾精，万物化生。又曰∶阴阳合德而刚柔有体。正所
谓独阳不生，独阴不成是也。盖人之夫妇，犹天地然。天地之道，阴阳和而万物育；夫妇之道，
阴阳和而男女生。苟或父精母血，一有不及，而谓有胎孕者，未之见也。是故欲求子者，必先审
其妇之月经调否。经者，常也。如月月应期而来，按期而止，无易常也，故曰月经。经或不调，
先后、频闭、紫淡、多少，而致赤白带下，崩漏淋沥，兼以夜热诸证，断不成孕。虽得成孕，半
产堕胎，坐蓐不育，或儿致疾苦，常有之矣。此所以论经血之病也。更有三因之杂证，必宜调之
。若六淫外侵，七情内扰，及不内外因，则起居作劳，饮食失节诸证，尤当疗于经血之前。如气
体不充，荣卫虚弱，则风冷乘虚而干之。或受于经络；或循于肠腹。或致脾胃不和，则不能司消
运之令，饮食必减，生化之道有亏，则四脏百骸失养。故荣卫凝滞，肌肤黄燥，面不光泽；或兼
大肠气虚，则为泄泻、不利。若流入关元，致绝子嗣。随有所伤，脏腑悉能致疾，此举一外感风
冷而言也。其如暑湿燥火，内伤诸患，皆类此而推之矣。经曰∶妇人三十六病，皆因六邪外伤，
七情内郁，加以劳役等因。是故冲任之脉，为十二经之会海。故妇人之病，皆见于少阴、太阳之
经而致焉。能先愈其病，将摄顺理，则荣卫充足，腠理固密，何六邪之袭乎？气血和畅，性静神
怡，何七情之扰乎？若此则阴阳冲叶而经调，经既调而服以肇妊之丸，引以种子之法，
则自然受孕无惑矣。及夫男子之病，亦当详审，如或精气不足，子嗣难成。有肾虚精滑，精少精
清；或临事痿弱；或盗汗精遗、便浊腰惫，好色阴虚等证，皆致精髓亏损。更有男子不诚实谨守
，妄作外淫，又不足言也。欲求嗣者，必至夫妇无病，一一谨节，血盈精足，何难诞育乎？如服
药必宜久久滋培，不可断续，致肾气充足，精髓盈满，子生药止。

《易经》说：天地交感，万物化育醇厚；男女交合，精气交融，万物由此化生。又说：阴阳和谐交融，刚柔各有形体。这正是所谓的“独阳不生，独阴不成”的道理。大概人的夫妇关系，就像天地一样。天地的运行规律，是阴阳调和而万物繁育；夫妇的相处之道，是阴阳调和而生育子女。如果父亲的精子和母亲的血液，有一方不足，却声称能怀孕生子，这是从未见过的事。因此，想要求子的人，必须先审视妻子的月经是否调顺。所谓“经”，就是常规、常道。像每个月按时到来，到期限就停止，没有改变常规，所以叫作月经。如果月经不调，出现周期先后不定、频繁闭经、颜色紫暗或淡白、经量多少不一，并导致赤白带下、崩漏淋漓不止，兼有夜间发热等各种症状，肯定无法受孕。即使侥幸怀孕，也常有流产、堕胎、难产不育，或者孩子多病痛苦的情况。这就是论述经血疾病的道理。更有三因（外感六淫、内伤七情、不内外因）夹杂的杂证，必须加以调理。如果是六淫邪气从外部侵袭，七情情绪从内部扰乱，以及饮食起居劳作失当等不内外因导致的病症，尤其应当在调理经血之前进行治疗。如果人体正气不充盈，营卫之气虚弱，那么风冷邪气就会乘虚而入。有的侵犯经络；有的顺着肠胃腹部走窜。有的导致脾胃不和，就不能行使消化运化的职能，饮食必然减少，气血生化之源有所亏损，那么五脏和四肢百骸都会失去滋养。因此营卫凝滞，肌肤枯黄干燥，面色无光泽；或者兼有大肠气虚，就会出现泄泻、排便不畅。如果邪气流入关元穴部位，会导致绝嗣不孕。无论哪里受伤，脏腑都能引发疾病，这里只是举出外感风冷这一种情况来说明。至于暑湿燥火等内伤诸患，都可以依此类推。医经说：妇女三十六种疾病，都是因为六邪从外部侵袭，七情从内部郁结，再加上劳役等原因造成的。因此冲脉和任脉，是十二经脉汇聚的大海。所以妇女的疾病，都表现在少阴经和太阳经上而产生。如果能先治愈这些疾病，注意摄养顺应生理规律，那么营卫充足，腠理致密，什么六邪能够侵袭呢？气血和畅，性情宁静精神愉悦，什么七情能够扰乱呢？像这样，阴阳协调而月经调顺，月经既已调顺，再服用催生怀孕的药丸，运用助孕的方法，那么自然受孕就没有疑惑了。至于男子的疾病，也应当详细审查，如果精气不足，子嗣难以形成。有肾虚精液滑脱、精量少且清稀；或者行房时阳痿软弱；或者盗汗遗精、小便浑浊腰部疲惫、好色导致阴虚等症状，都会导致精髓亏损。更有男子不诚实谨慎，妄行房事纵欲，这更是不值一提的了。想要求得子嗣的人，必须达到夫妇双方都没有疾病，一一严格节制，血液充盈精髓充足，还有什么困难不能诞育后代呢？如服药必须长久滋培，不可断断续续，致使肾气充足，精髓盈满，生出孩子后就可以停药。

The *I Ching* (Book of Changes) states: "When Heaven and Earth interact, the transformation of all things becomes profound; when man and woman join in essence, all things are born." It also says: "When Yin and Yang harmonize their virtue, firmness and softness acquire their forms." This is precisely what is meant by "solitary Yang does not generate, solitary Yin does not complete." The relationship between husband and wife is akin to that of Heaven and Earth. The way of Heaven and Earth is that Yin and Yang harmonize to nurture all things; the way of husband and wife is that Yin and Yang harmonize to give birth to children. If the father's sperm or the mother's blood is deficient in any way, yet one claims pregnancy can occur, this has never been seen. Therefore, those seeking offspring must first examine whether the wife's menstruation is regulated. "Jing" (Menstruation) means regularity. Just as it comes on time every month and stops at the appointed time without changing its routine, it is called menstruation. If menstruation is irregular, with cycles coming early or late, frequent amenorrhea, purple or pale color, varying amounts, leading to red and white leukorrhea, metrorrhagia and metrostaxis, accompanied by night fevers and other symptoms, conception will certainly not occur. Even if pregnancy is achieved, spontaneous abortion, miscarriage, difficult labor, infertility, or sickly children are common occurrences. This is why we discuss diseases of menstrual blood. Furthermore, complex syndromes caused by the Three Causes (External invasion of Six Evils, Internal injury of Seven Emotions, and Non-internal/Non-external causes) must be regulated. If the Six Evils invade from outside, the Seven Emotions disturb from within, or due to improper living habits, overwork, and dietary irregularities, these conditions should especially be treated before regulating menstruation. If the body's righteous Qi is insufficient and Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive) Qi are weak, wind-cold pathogens will take advantage of the deficiency to attack. They may invade the meridians; or travel through the intestines and abdomen. They may cause disharmony of the Spleen and Stomach, impairing their function of digestion and transportation, leading to reduced food intake, deficit in the generation of Qi and Blood, and thus loss of nourishment for the Five Zang organs and hundred bones. Consequently, Ying and Wei Qi stagnate, skin and muscles become yellow and dry, and the face lacks luster; or combined with Qi deficiency of the Large Intestine, diarrhea and difficulty in defecation may occur. If pathogens flow into the Guanyuan (CV-4) area, it leads to sterility. Wherever injury occurs, the Zang-Fu organs can induce disease; this is merely an example citing external wind-cold. Similar reasoning applies to internal injuries such as summerheat, dampness, dryness, and fire. The medical classics state: "The thirty-six diseases of women are all caused by the external invasion of Six Evils, internal depression of Seven Emotions, and factors such as overexertion." Therefore, the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel) and Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) are the seas of convergence for the Twelve Meridians. Thus, women's diseases manifest through the Shao Yin (Lesser Yin) and Tai Yang (Greater Yang) meridians. If these diseases are cured first, and care is taken to follow physiological laws, then Ying and Wei Qi will be sufficient, and the Cou Li (pores and interstitial spaces) will be dense, preventing the invasion of Six Evils? With smooth-flowing Qi and Blood, calm temperament, and serene spirit, how can Seven Emotions disturb? In this way, Yin and Yang coordinate, menstruation becomes regular, and after taking conception-promoting pills and employing seed-enabling methods, natural conception will surely occur without doubt. As for men's diseases, they must also be carefully examined. If Essence and Qi are insufficient, offspring are hard to conceive. Conditions include Kidney deficiency with seminal emission, scanty and clear semen; impotence during intercourse; nocturnal sweating with seminal leakage, turbid urine, and fatigue in the lower back; yin deficiency due to excessive sexual desire, all leading to depletion of Marrow and Essence. Moreover, men who are not honest and cautious, engaging in reckless promiscuity, need not even be mentioned. Those seeking heirs must ensure both husband and wife are free of disease, strictly observe moderation, with abundant blood and sufficient essence, so there is no difficulty in bearing children. Medication must be taken continuously for a long time to nourish and cultivate, not intermittently, until Kidney Qi is sufficient and Essence and Marrow are full; once a child is born, medication can stop.
