论述说：凡是患伤寒大病之后，气血尚未恢复，如果过早进行房事，不仅会导致病患因劳累而复发（劳复），还会因此传染变异。男性患病传给女性，女性会遭受小腹紧急疼痛、身体虚弱无力卧床、不能翻身转动、行动需要依靠他人的痛苦；如果不立即治疗就会死亡，或者经过数月逐渐变得瘦弱困顿也会死亡。

Commentary states: After a major illness of Cold Damage (Shanghan), if Qi and Blood have not yet recovered, engaging in sexual activity too early will not only cause the patient to relapse due to exertion (Lao Fu), but also lead to transmission and mutation. If a male patient transmits it to a female, the female will suffer from urgent pain in the lower abdomen, weakness preventing her from staying in bed, inability to turn over or move without assistance; if not treated immediately, death will ensue.
