寸白，是九虫内之一虫也。凡九虫在人腹内，居肠胃之间，腑脏气实，则虫不动，不为
人害。虚者，虫便发动滋长，乃至毙人。
又云∶饮白酒，以桑枝贯牛肉炙食，食生栗、生鱼，仍饮乳酪，能变生寸白者也。
血性得寒则凝，得热则流散。若劳伤经络，其血虚，热渗入胞，故尿血也。
劳伤经脉则生热。热乘于血，血得热则流散，渗入于大肠，故大便血也。
肾与膀胱合，而肾藏精。若劳动膀胱，伤损肾气，则表里俱虚，不收制于精，故失精也
足阳明之经，胃之脉也，其直者，从缺盆下于乳。因劳动则腠理虚，受风邪，入
于荣卫，荣卫痞涩，血气不流，热结于乳，故令乳肿。其结肿不散，则成痈。
此由新产后，儿未能饮之，及饮不泄；或断儿乳，捻其汁法不尽，皆令乳汁蓄结，与血
气相搏，即壮热、大渴引饮，牢强掣痛、手不得近是也。
初觉，便以手助捻其汁，并令傍人助嗍引之；不尔，成疮有脓。其热势盛，则成痈。
肿结皮薄以泽，是痈也。足阳明之经脉，有从缺盆下于乳者，劳伤血气，其脉虚，腠理
虚，寒客于经络，寒搏于血，则血涩不通，其气又归之，气积不散，故结聚成痈者。痈气不
宣，与血相搏，则生热；热盛乘于血，血化成脓；亦有因乳汁蓄结，与血相搏，蕴积生热，
结聚而成乳痈。
年四十已还，治之多愈；年五十以上，慎，不当治之，多死。不治，自当终年。又，怀
娠发乳痈肿及体结痈，此无害也。盖怀胎之痈，病起阳明，阳明胃之脉也，主肌肉，不伤脏
，故无害。
诊其右手关上脉，沉则为阴，虚者则病乳痈。乳痈久不瘥，因变为 。
《养生方》云∶热食汗出，露乳伤风，喜发乳肿，名吹乳，因喜作痈。
寸白虫，是九虫中的一种。大凡九虫存在于人的腹内，居住在肠胃之间。如果脏腑之气充实，那么虫子就不会活动，不会危害人体。如果脏腑气虚，虫子就会发动并滋长，甚至导致人死亡。
又说：饮用白酒，用桑枝串着牛肉烤熟后食用，吃生栗子、生鱼，再喝乳酪，能够促使体内生出寸白虫。
阴部散发臭气，是由于子宫（子脏）有寒邪，寒邪与津液搏结，蕴积日久，气机上冲至阴部，因此产生臭味。
血液的特性是遇寒则凝结，遇热则流动散开。如果因劳累损伤经络，导致血虚，热邪渗入胞宫，就会出现尿血的症状。
劳累损伤经脉会产生热邪。热邪侵袭血液，血液受热则流动散开，渗入大肠，所以会出现大便出血的症状。
肾与膀胱相表里，而肾主藏精。如果过度劳累损伤膀胱，进而伤损肾气，就会导致表里俱虚，无法固摄控制精气，从而出现遗精的症状。
足阳明经，是胃的经脉，其直行分支，从缺盆穴向下经过乳房。因为劳累导致腠理（皮肤毛孔及皮下组织间隙）空虚，风邪乘虚而入，侵入营卫之气，导致营卫运行痞塞涩滞，气血流通不畅，热邪结聚于乳房，所以导致乳房肿胀。如果结聚的肿胀不能消散，就会形成痈肿。
这多发生在产后不久，婴儿未能吸吮乳汁，或者乳汁未排空；或者是给婴儿断奶时，挤奶方法不当导致乳汁未尽，这些都使得乳汁蓄积结聚，与气血相互搏结，于是出现高热、极度口渴想喝水、乳房坚硬强直掣痛、手不能触碰等症状。
刚感觉到症状时，就要用手帮助挤压排出乳汁，并让旁人协助吸吮引流；如果不这样做，就会溃烂成疮并有脓液。如果热势旺盛，就会形成痈肿。
肿块表面皮肤薄而有光泽，这是痈的特征。足阳明经脉中，有从缺盆穴向下经过乳房的，如果劳伤气血，导致脉象虚弱，腠理空虚，寒邪客居于经络，寒邪与血液搏结，导致血液涩滞不通，气机又汇聚于此，气积聚不散，所以结聚形成痈肿。痈的气机不宣通，与血液相互搏结，就会产生热邪；热邪炽盛侵袭血液，血液化为脓液；也有因为乳汁蓄积结聚，与气血相互搏结，蕴积生热，结聚而形成乳痈的。
年龄在四十岁以下的人，治疗大多能痊愈；年龄在五十岁以上的人，需谨慎，不应当轻易治疗，否则大多死亡。如果不治疗，患者最终也会自然死亡。另外，怀孕期间发生乳房痈肿以及身体其他部位结痈，这对胎儿没有危害。这是因为怀孕期间的痈肿，病起于阳明经，阳明经是胃的经脉，主管肌肉，不伤害内脏，所以没有危害。
诊察患者的右手关部脉象，如果脉沉则为阴证，脉虚则是患乳痈的表现。乳痈久治不愈，可能会转变为漏症（此处原文可能有缺字或通假，通常指乳漏）。
Chuncui (Taenia saginata, Beef Tapeworm) is one of the Nine Worms. Generally, the Nine Worms reside within the human abdomen, dwelling between the intestines and stomach. If the Qi of the Zang-Fu organs is substantial, the worms remain inactive and do not harm the person. If the Qi is deficient, the worms become active and multiply, potentially leading to death.
It is also stated that drinking white wine, roasting beef skewered with mulberry branches for consumption, eating raw chestnuts and raw fish, along with consuming milk and cheese, can induce the generation of Chuncui worms.
Yinchou (Foul odor from the genitalia) arises from cold in the Zi Zang (uterus). The cold combats with body fluids, causing accumulation. When Qi rushes upward to the yin region, it transforms into a foul odor.
Blood tends to coagulate when exposed to cold and flow freely when exposed to heat. If exertion damages the meridians, resulting in blood deficiency, heat may penetrate the Bao (uterus/bladder area), causing hematuria (blood in urine).
Exertion damaging the meridians generates heat. Heat affects the blood; when blood is heated, it flows and scatters, penetrating into the large intestine, thus causing hematochezia (blood in stool).
The Kidney and Bladder are exterior-interior paired organs, and the Kidney stores Essence. If excessive labor injures the Bladder and damages Kidney Qi, both the interior and exterior become deficient. Unable to control and retain Essence, loss of essence (seminal emission or spermatorrhea) occurs.
The Foot-Yangming Meridian is the meridian of the Stomach. Its straight branch descends from Quepen (ST12) to the breast. Exertion causes the Cou Li (pores and interstitial spaces) to become deficient, allowing Wind pathogen to enter the Ying and Wei (Nutritive and Defensive levels). This leads to stagnation and obstruction in Ying and Wei, preventing the smooth flow of Blood and Qi. Heat knots in the breast, causing swelling. If this knotting and swelling does not dissipate, an abscess (Yong) forms.
This condition often occurs shortly after childbirth, either because the infant has not suckled, or the milk has not been fully drained; or during weaning, improper milking techniques leave residual milk. All these factors cause milk to accumulate and knot, combusting with Blood and Qi. Symptoms include high fever, intense thirst with a desire to drink, firm and rigid pulling pain in the breast that cannot be touched by hand.
Upon initial sensation, one should manually assist in expressing the milk and have others help suckle and drain it. Otherwise, sores with pus will form. If the heat intensity is severe, an abscess will develop.
A swelling with thin, shiny skin indicates an abscess (Yong). The Foot-Yangming meridian has a branch descending from Quepen (ST12) to the breast. Exertion damages Blood and Qi, making the pulse deficient and the Cou Li vulnerable. Cold pathogens invade the meridians, combing with Blood, causing blood stasis and obstruction. Qi converges here, accumulating without dispersing, thus forming a knot that becomes an abscess. If the Qi of the abscess is not unblocked and combats with Blood, heat is generated. Severe heat affects the Blood, transforming it into pus. Alternatively, accumulated milk combats with Blood and Qi, generating heat through accumulation, which knots to form Breast Abscess (Ru Yong).
For those under forty years old, treatment usually results in recovery. For those over fifty, caution is advised; treatment is generally contraindicated as it often leads to death. Without treatment, the patient will eventually die of natural causes. Furthermore, breast abscesses occurring during pregnancy, or abscesses elsewhere on the body, are harmless. This is because abscesses during pregnancy originate in the Yangming Meridian, which belongs to the Stomach and governs the muscles, not injuring the Zang organs, hence no harm.
Palpating the Guan position on the right wrist: if the pulse is Deep (Chen), it indicates Yin syndrome; if Deficient (Xu), it indicates Breast Abscess (Ru Yong). If Breast Abscess persists and fails to heal, it may transform into a fistula (Lou).
The *Yangsheng Fang* (Prescriptions for Nourishing Life) states: After eating hot food and sweating, exposing the breasts to wind easily causes breast swelling, known as "Blown Milk" (Chui Ru), which frequently develops into an abscess.
