 妇人产后病脉证并治第二十一

Chapter 21, Disorders after baby delivery


问曰:新产妇人有三病:一者病痉,二者病郁冒,三者大便难,何谓也?师曰:新产血虚,多汗出,喜中风,故令病痉。亡血复汗,寒多,故令郁冒。亡津液,胃燥,故大便难。

Asked: woman who just had a baby delivery, has three kinds of disorders associated with the delivery. The first is Jing disease (spasm type disease). The second is Yumao disease[1] and the third is hard in bowel movement. What are they?

The loss of blood, sweat, all depletes body liquid (the Yingye), the stomach is try so that the bowel movement is hard.


产妇郁冒,其脉微弱,不能食,大便反坚,但头汗出。所以然者,血虚而厥,厥而必冒,冒家欲解,必大汗出;以血虚下厥,孤阳上出,故头汗出。所以产妇喜汗出者,亡阴血虚,阳气独盛,故当汗出,阴阳乃复,大便坚,呕不能食,小柴胡汤主之。病解能食,七、八日更发热者,此为胃实,大承气汤主之。

For woman with Yumao disease, her pulse is weak, cannot eat, the stool is hard, but there is sweat on head. This is because the blood deficiency, which causes reverse cold in hands and feet. The later condition then causes the Yumao condition. Person with the Yumao will have sweat before the condition is to solve. The sweat is due to the floating Yangqi in the head (the cold in residue in the lower part of the body: cold feet). Woman who has easy sweat depleted the Yin and causes blood deficiency.
