产后月水不通者,不必药也。妇人冲任之脉,为经络之海,皆起胞内。手太阳、手少阴二经,上为
乳汁,下为月水。若产后去血过多,常有月水不通。若乳子者,半岁一岁之内,月经不行,此犹常候。
若半岁左右便行,是必少壮血盛之人。若产
后一二年月经不通,无他疾苦,亦不必服通经之药。盖因劳伤营卫,冲任脉虚,气血衰少耳。但服健脾
胃及滋补气血之药,自然通行。若强通之,是犹揠苗者也。
新产半月左右,忽发痈肿于四肢、胸腹者,是败血不尽,流滞经络。或气血虚弱,营气不从,逆于肉
理也。如败血瘀滞者,则 肿赤痛,而脉弦洪有力,当补血行血之中,佐以导瘀疏气为主。如气血虚弱,
营涩卫逆者,则平塌散漫,而脉虚微无力,当大补气血为主。如十全、八珍之属,以固本元,扶胃气。气
壮血和,其毒自解。若以毒治,而用清凉解毒,势必不脓不溃,变成坏证矣。
产妇冲任血旺,脾胃气壮,则乳足而浓,乃生化之源旺也。如无他证但少乳,是气血滞,用行气下乳
汤。若脾胃气弱,饮食少进,冲任素亏,其人面必黄色,则乳少而薄,所乳之子,亦怯弱而多病。务服滋
养气血,兼通利之剂,宜十全大补汤
加红花五分,或四物汤加茯苓、花粉、甘草、王不留行、麦冬、漏芦、穿山甲、通草,猪蹄汁煎服。如
既服通利之药,亦无大效,仍然乳少,系此妇气血亏甚,津液短少,何以为乳?须另觅乳母可耳。至于
选乳母之法,择其人肥瘦适中,无病经调善食者佳。太肥则多痰,太瘦则多火,儿饮其乳,亦复如是。
且人乳原无定性,随饮食性气而变。故饮食之调摄,乳母又不可不慎也。但凡乳汁,须要验其浓白光彩,
入盏中,上面莹然如玉为上,白色清薄为下,不可使之哺儿也。至于产后乳汁不行,身体壮热,头目昏
痛,或乳下发热身痛,玉露散主之。世有产妇气血旺而壅滞不行者,法当疏而通之,生化汤加木香、青
皮、白芷、花粉、穿山甲煎服。又有用麦冬、栝蒌仁、天花粉、人参、葵子、猪胰、木通、漏芦、猪蹄
之类,煮食而乳行矣。再考《全书》内,治肥盛妇人,痰气壅结,乳汁不行,用漏芦汤利之。至于血气虚而
燥涩阻滞不行者,宜十全、八珍之类,补其虚而自行。《全书》内有猪蹄汤二方,治气血不足,乳汁不行。
如脾虚饮食少无乳,宜香砂四君子汤。若乳将至而未得通畅者,宜猪蹄羹、涌泉散。若夫乳汁自出者,乃
阳明胃气不固,亦宜八珍或十全补之。若阳明血热而溢者,宜保阴煎或四君子加栀子。若肝经怒火上冲,
乳胀而溢者,宜
加减一阴煎。若乳多胀满而溢者,不必服药,宜温帛熨而散之。若未产而乳自出,谓之乳泣,生子多不
育。若产妇劳役,乳汁涌下,此阳气虚而厥也,独参汤主之。

产后月经停止不来潮的,不需要用药治疗。妇女的冲脉和任脉,是经络之海,都起于胞宫内部。手太阳小肠经和手少阴心经这两条经脉,向上化为乳汁,向下化为月经。如果产后失血过多,常常会出现月经停止的情况。如果是正在哺乳的妇女,在半岁到一岁以内,月经不来,这属于正常的现象。如果在产后半年左右月经就恢复了,那一定是身体强壮、血液充盛的妇人。如果产后一两年月经仍不通畅,但没有其他疾病痛苦,也不必服用通经的药物。这是因为劳累损伤了营气和卫气,导致冲任二脉虚弱,气血衰少的缘故。只需服用健脾益胃以及滋补气血的药物,月经自然会通畅。如果强行通经,这就如同拔苗助长一样有害。
新产后的半个月左右,忽然在四肢、胸腹部发生痈肿,这是恶露排不干净,败血流滞于经络所致。或者是气血虚弱,营气运行不畅,逆乱于肌肉纹理之间。如果是败血瘀滞的情况,则表现为肿胀、发红、疼痛,且脉象弦洪有力,应当在补血行血之中,以引导瘀血、疏理气机为主。如果是气血虚弱,营气涩滞、卫气逆乱的情况,则表现为肿块平塌、散漫无头,且脉象虚微无力,应当以大补气血为主。如使用十全大补汤、八珍汤之类的方剂,以巩固根本元气,扶持胃气。只要气壮血和,毒邪自然解除。如果用寒凉药物去清热解毒,势必导致不能化脓溃破,变成坏证。
产妇如果冲任血液旺盛,脾胃之气强健,那么乳汁就会充足且浓稠,这是生化之源旺盛的表现。如果没有其他病症只是乳汁少,这是气血阻滞,使用行气下乳汤。如果脾胃气弱,饮食摄入减少,冲任素来亏虚,其人面色必定发黄,那么乳汁就少而稀薄,所哺育的孩子,也会怯弱多病。务必服用滋养气血兼有通利作用的药剂,适宜用十全大补汤加红花五分,或者四物汤加茯苓、天花粉、甘草、王不留行、麦冬、漏芦、穿山甲、通草,用猪蹄汁煎服。如果已经服用了通利的药物,也没有太大效果,仍然乳汁少,这是由于这位妇人气血亏损严重,津液短少,靠什么来生成乳汁呢?必须另外寻找乳母才可以。至于选择乳母的方法,选择她肥瘦适中,没有疾病、月经调顺、食欲好的人为佳。太肥胖则多痰湿,太消瘦则多虚火,婴儿喝了这样的乳汁,也会如此。而且人乳原本没有固定的性质,会随着饮食的性质而变化。所以对饮食的调理,乳母又不可不谨慎。凡是乳汁,都要检验其浓白光彩,倒入盏中,上面晶莹如玉的为上等,白色清薄的为下等,不可用来哺育婴儿。至于产后乳汁不行,身体壮热,头目昏痛,或者乳房下方发热身痛,用玉露散主治。世间有产妇气血旺盛但壅滞不行的,治法应当疏通而通利它,用生化汤加木香、青皮、白芷、天花粉、穿山甲煎服。又有用麦冬、栝蒌仁、天花粉、人参、葵子、猪胰、木通、漏芦、猪蹄之类,煮食后乳汁就通了。再考证《全书》内,治疗肥胖妇人,痰气壅结,乳汁不行,用漏芦汤利导它。至于血气虚而燥涩阻滞不行的,适宜用十全大补汤、八珍汤之类,补其虚而乳汁自通。《全书》内有猪蹄汤两个方子,治疗气血不足,乳汁不行。如果脾虚饮食少而无乳,适宜用香砂四君子汤。如果乳汁将至但未得通畅的,适宜用猪蹄羹、涌泉散。至于乳汁自行流出的,是阳明胃气不固,也适宜用八珍汤或十全大补汤补益。如果是阳明血热而溢出的,适宜用保阴煎或四君子汤加栀子。如果是肝经怒火上冲,乳房胀痛而溢出的,适宜用加减一阴煎。如果乳汁多胀满而溢出的,不必服药,适宜用温热的布巾熨敷使其消散。如果未生产而乳汁自行流出,称为乳泣,生下的孩子大多不育。如果产妇劳役过度,乳汁涌下,这是阳气虚而厥逆,用独参汤主治。

For postpartum amenorrhea (cessation of menstruation), medication is not necessary. The Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel) and Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) in women are the seas of the collaterals and meridians, both originating from within the Bao Gong (Uterus). The Hand-Taiyin Intestinal Meridian and the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian transform upwards into breast milk and downwards into menstrual blood. If excessive blood loss occurs after childbirth, amenorrhea often ensues. For women who are breastfeeding, the absence of menstruation within six months to one year is still a normal physiological state. If menstruation resumes around half a year postpartum, it indicates a woman who is young, vigorous, and has abundant blood. If menstruation remains absent for one or two years postpartum without other discomforts, there is no need to take medicines that promote menstruation. This is due to fatigue damaging Ying Qi (Nutritive Qi) and Wei Qi (Defensive Qi), leading to deficiency of the Chong and Ren vessels, and depletion of Qi and Blood. Simply taking medicines to strengthen the Spleen and Stomach and nourish Qi and Blood will naturally restore flow. Forcing menstruation would be akin to pulling up seedlings to help them grow.
Around half a month after childbirth, sudden carbuncles or swellings appearing on the limbs, chest, or abdomen indicate that lochia (postpartum discharge) is incomplete, causing stagnant blood to flow and lodge in the collaterals and meridians. Alternatively, it may result from weak Qi and Blood, where Ying Qi fails to follow its course and rebels against the muscle tissue. In cases of stagnant blood and blood stasis, symptoms include swelling, redness, and pain, with a wiry, surging, and forceful pulse. Treatment should focus on nourishing and moving blood, assisted by methods to guide out stasis and regulate Qi. In cases of weak Qi and Blood, with stagnant Ying Qi and rebellious Wei Qi, symptoms present as flat, diffuse swellings with a faint, minute, and forceless pulse. Treatment should primarily involve strongly tonifying Qi and Blood, using formulas such as Shiquan Dabu Tang (Ten Ingredients Great Tonifying Decoction) or Bazhen Tang (Eight Treasures Decoction) to consolidate the root Yuan Qi and support Stomach Qi. When Qi is strong and Blood is harmonious, the pathogenic factor resolves spontaneously. Using cold-natured herbs to clear heat and detoxify will inevitably prevent suppuration and ulceration, resulting in a deteriorated condition.
When a parturient’s Chong and Ren vessels have abundant blood and her Spleen and Stomach Qi are strong, breast milk will be sufficient and thick, indicating robust generation and transformation sources. If there are no other syndromes but only scant milk, it is due to stagnation of Qi and Blood; use Xingqi Xuru Tang (Qi-Regulating Lactation-Decreasing Decoction). If Spleen and Stomach Qi is weak, food intake is low, and the Chong and Ren vessels are chronically deficient, the complexion will likely be sallow; the milk will be scant and thin, and the nursing infant will be frail and prone to illness. It is essential to administer agents that nourish Qi and Blood while promoting flow. Suitable prescriptions include Shiquan Dabu Tang (Ten Ingredients Great Tonifying Decoction) plus 5 fen of Honghua (Carthami Flos), or Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) plus Fuling (Poria), Tianhuafen (Trichosanthis Radix), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Wangbuliuxing (Vaccariae Semen), Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix), Loulu (Euphorbiae Humifusae Herba), Chuanshanjia (Manis Squama), Tongcao (Tetrapanacis Medulla), decocted in pig trotter juice. If lactation-promoting medicines yield little effect and milk remains scant, it signifies severe deficiency of Qi and Blood and shortness of Jin Ye (Body Fluids); how can milk be produced? A wet nurse must be sought. Regarding the selection of a wet nurse, choose someone of moderate build, free from disease, with regular menstruation and good appetite. Excessive fatness leads to Phlegm-Dampness; excessive thinness leads to Deficiency-Fire; if the infant drinks such milk, similar conditions may arise. Human milk lacks fixed nature and changes according to dietary properties. Therefore, dietary regulation for the wet nurse must not be neglected. All breast milk should be tested for thickness, whiteness, and luster; when poured into a cup, milk that appears crystal clear like jade is superior, while thin, white, watery milk is inferior and should not be used to feed the infant. For postpartum agalactia accompanied by high fever, dizziness, headache, or heat and body ache below the breasts, Yulu San (Jade Dew Powder) is indicated. In cases where a parturient has abundant Qi and Blood but suffers from congestion and stagnation preventing flow, the method is to soothe and unblock; use Shenghua Tang (Generate the Old Transform into New Decoction) plus Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Qingpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride), Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), Tianhuafen (Trichosanthis Radix), and Chuanshanjia (Manis Squama), decocted and taken orally. Other remedies include decocting and consuming Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix), Gualouren (Benincasae Semen), Tianhuafen (Trichosanthis Radix), Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Kuizi (Abutilonis Semen), Zhu Yi (Pancreas Porci), Mutong (Akebiae Caulis), Loulu (Euphorbiae Humifusae Herba), and pig trotters to induce lactation. Further consulting the *Quan Shu*, for obese women with Phlegm-Qi congestion obstructing lactation, Loulu Tang (Loulu Decoction) is used to drain the obstruction. For cases where Qi and Blood deficiency causes dryness, astringency, and stagnation preventing flow, tonify the deficiency with Shiquan Dabu Tang (Ten Ingredients Great Tonifying Decoction) or Bazhen Tang (Eight Treasures Decoction) to allow natural flow. The *Quan Shu* contains two recipes for Zhuti Tang (Pig Trotter Decoction) treating agalactia due to Qi and Blood insufficiency. For Spleen deficiency with poor appetite and no milk, Xiangsha Six Junzi Tang (Aucklandia and Amomum Six Gentlemen Decoction) is suitable. For impending lactation that is not yet smooth, Zhuti Geng (Pig Trotter Broth) and Yongquan San (Surging Spring Powder) are appropriate. For spontaneous leakage of milk, it is due to insecurity of Yangming Stomach Qi; tonify with Bazhen Tang (Eight Treasures Decoction) or Shiquan Dabu Tang (Ten Ingredients Great Tonifying Decoction). For overflow due to Heat in the Yangming Blood, use Baoyin Jian (Protect Yin Decoction) or Six Junzi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) plus Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus). For distension and overflow caused by Liver Fire rebelling upward, use Jiajian Yiyin Jian (Modified One-Yin Decoction). For fullness and overflow due to excessive milk, medication is unnecessary; apply warm cloth compresses to dissipate the swelling. Spontaneous milk secretion before delivery is called Ru Qi (Breast Weeping); children born under this sign are often infertile. If a parturient experiences gushing milk due to overwork, it indicates Yang Qi deficiency with Jue (Cold Reversal); treat with Dushen Tang (Single Ginseng Decoction).
