经闭，是指新形成的血液停滞而不能流动，旧的血液凝结并日益积聚。患者常出现脐部、腹部及腰部多处疼痛，伴有血瘕（腹内结块）、血风（与血相关的风邪病症）以及热入血室（热邪侵入胞宫）等症状，这些病症多由此开始。
然而，探究其闭经的原因，有的是在月经即将来潮之时，恰好遭遇暴怒，导致肝气升发太过，血液随气上逆而不能下行，从而造成经闭。有的是在月经刚来时，因口渴饮水，同时食用生冷食物，或坐在水中洗浴，致使寒气侵入体内，血液因此凝滞，也能导致经闭。
有的因为堕胎或多产，损伤了血液；有的因为长期患潮热，消耗了血液；有的因为长期发热盗汗，耗损了血液；有的因为脾胃不和，饮食减少，无法生成血液；有的因为思虑和悲哀过度，导致心脾亏损，无法滋养血液。凡此种种，都能导致女性经闭。
那些形体肥胖、面色白净的女性，若月经不通，必定是湿痰与脂膜壅滞所致。
若是未婚少女经闭，多因恣意食用酸咸、煎炸食物，或者超过一年未出嫁，或者年纪未到成年（笄年）却思念男子，思虑过度会损伤心血。寡妇经闭，是因为心中郁闷百端，心火不时升起，再加上饮食过于浓味，遂形成痰火。其症状表现为忽冷忽热，面红心烦，有时自汗。应当根据具体的病因进行治疗，岂能一概而论呢？
脉象方面：左寸脉沉，提示心病；右寸脉弦，关脉沉，提示肝病；两寸脉弱小属于虚证；若属实证，寸关脉调匀如常；尺脉绝而不至者，为月经不利。

Amenorrhea refers to the condition where newly formed blood stagnates and fails to flow, while old blood coagulates and accumulates day by day. Patients often experience pain in the umbilical region, abdomen, and lower back, accompanied by blood masses (abdominal masses), wind-blood disorders (wind-pathogens related to blood stasis), and heat entering the blood chamber (heat pathogen invading the uterus). These conditions often originate from amenorrhea.
However, investigating the causes of amenorrhea: some cases occur when a woman experiences sudden anger just as her menstruation is about to begin. The liver qi rises excessively, causing blood to ascend with the qi rather than descend, leading to amenorrhea. In other cases, menstruation has just started, but due to drinking water because of thirst, consuming raw and cold foods, or bathing in cold water, cold pathogens enter the interior. This causes blood to coagulate and stagnate, also resulting in amenorrhea.
Some cases result from damage to the blood due to abortions or multiple childbirths. Others arise from chronic tidal fevers that consume the blood, or from prolonged fever and night sweats that deplete the blood. Some stem from disharmony between the spleen and stomach, reduced dietary intake, and an inability to generate blood. Still others are caused by excessive worry and sorrow, leading to deficiency of the heart and spleen, and an inability to nourish the blood. All such factors can lead to amenorrhea.
In women who are obese and have a fair complexion, if menstruation does not flow, it is invariably due to obstruction by damp-phlegm and lipid membranes.
For unmarried girls, amenorrhea is often caused by indulging in sour, salty, fried, or roasted foods, remaining unmarried for over a year, or harboring desires for men before reaching adulthood (the age of fifteen). Excessive thinking damages the heart blood. For widows, amenorrhea results from various forms of depression, causing heart fire to flare up intermittently. If combined with a diet rich in strong flavors, phlegm-fire may form. Symptoms include alternating chills and fever, facial redness, mental restlessness, and spontaneous sweating. Treatment must be tailored to the specific cause; can one apply a single method uniformly?
Regarding pulse diagnosis: A deep pulse at the left cun position indicates heart disease; a wiry pulse at the right cun position and a deep pulse at the guan position indicate liver disease. Weak and small pulses at both cun positions suggest deficiency. If the condition is excess, the cun and guan pulses remain regular. If the chi pulse is absent or imperceptible, it indicates difficulty in menstruation.
