《诸病源候论》中女劳疸的症状表现是：全身和眼睛都发黄，伴有发热和怕冷，小腹部胀满紧迫，小便排出困难。这是由于在大劳累、大燥热的时候进行房事，房事后立即入水沐浴所致。（出自第十二卷）
张仲景在《伤寒论》中指出：黄疸病患者通常在下午申时（日晡）发热，却反而出现怕冷的症状，这属于女劳疸。其病因是膀胱拘急，小腹胀满，全身皮肤尽黄，额头反而发黑，脚心发热。因这些因素导致形成黑疸，大便必然发黑，腹部胀满如同有水状，若大便黑而稀溏，这是女劳疸的病证，而不是水肿病。腹部胀满的难以治疗。用硝石矾石散主治。方剂组成如下：
以上两味药，等量混合，捣碎后用绢筛过，用大麦粥汁调和，每次服用一方寸匕，每日三次。服药后穿厚衣覆盖身体以取汗，病邪随大小便排出，小便变为正黄色，大便变为正黑色。大麦必须选用无皮麦。《千金方》记载：消石二分，熬至干燥；矾石一分，熬至干燥。因此在此加注说明。（《肘后备急方》、《小品方》、崔氏、文仲、《千金方》、《范汪方》、《深师方》均与此相同，出自第十四卷）
《千金翼方》治疗黄疸病，若在下午申时发热怕冷，小腹拘急，身体发黄，额头发黑，大便黑，稀溏泄泻，脚心发热，这属于女劳疸，腹部胀满者难治的方剂。
以上两味药，制成散剂。用大麦粥汁调和，每次服用一方寸匕，每日三次，小便极其通利则病愈。（《小品方》、《千金方》、《备急千金要方》、文仲均与此相同，出自第十八卷）
《近效方》治疗女劳疸及黄疸病患者，若在下午申时发热却反而怕冷，这属于女劳疸。病因是膀胱拘急，小腹胀满，全身皮肤尽黄，额头反而发黑，脚心发热，因而形成黑疸，大便必然发黑，腹部胀满如同有水状，大便黑而稀溏，这是女劳疸的病证，不是水肿病。治疗方法与黑疸相同。谷疸病表现为进食后头晕，心中悸动烦闷不安，日久发黄成为谷疸，均以前茵陈汤主治。该方剂在“遍身黄”章节中。
《必效方》治疗女劳疸引起的黄疸，若患者气短声音低沉的，适宜服用此方。
取妇女月经布及染血衣物烧成灰，用酒空腹送服一方寸匕，每日两次，不超过三天必定痊愈。
According to *Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun* (Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Symptoms of All Diseases), the manifestations of *Nü Lao Dan* (Jaundice due to Sexual Exhaustion) include: yellowing of both the body and eyes, accompanied by fever and aversion to cold, distension and urgency in the lower abdomen, and difficult urination. This condition is caused by engaging in sexual intercourse during a state of severe fatigue and intense heat, followed immediately by bathing in water. (From Volume 12)
In *Shang Han Lun* (Treatise on Cold Damage Disorders), Zhang Zhongjing states that patients with jaundice typically experience fever at *Ri Bu* (the hour of Shen, approximately 3-5 PM) but paradoxically exhibit aversion to cold; this indicates *Nü Lao Dan*. It arises from tension in the Bladder (*Pang Guang*), fullness in the lower abdomen, generalized yellowing of the body, darkening of the forehead specifically, and heat in the soles of the feet. These factors lead to the formation of *Hei Dan* (Black Jaundice). The stool will inevitably be black. If the abdomen is distended as if filled with water, and the stool is black and loose, this is a case of *Nü Lao Dan*, not edema (*Shui*). Cases with abdominal distension are difficult to treat. The primary formula is *Xiaoshi Fanshi San* (Niter and Alum Powder).
**Ingredients:**
*Xiaoshi* (Sal Nitratis, roasted until yellow) *Fanshi* (Alumen, calcined until juices are exhausted)
Take these two ingredients in equal proportions, crush them, sieve through silk, and mix with barley gruel juice. Administer one *Fang Cun Bi* (a square-inch measure, approx. 3-5g) per dose, three times daily. After taking the medicine, cover the patient with thick clothing to induce sweating. The pathogen will exit via the large and small intestines; the urine will turn normal yellow, and the stool will turn normal black. The barley used must be hulled barley. *Qian Jin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) records: *Xiaoshi* (Sal Nitratis) 2 fen, roasted until dry; *Fanshi* (Alumen) 1 fen, roasted until dry. Therefore, this note is added for clarification. (*Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang*, *Xiao Pin Fang*, Cui Shi, Wen Zhong, *Qian Jin Fang*, *Fan Wang Fang*, and *Shen Shi Fang* all agree with this account. From Volume 14)
*Qian Jin Yi Fang* (Supplement to Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) treats jaundice where fever and aversion to cold occur at *Ri Bu*, accompanied by lower abdominal urgency, body yellowing, black forehead, black stool, loose diarrhea, and heat in the soles of the feet. This is classified as *Nü Lao Dan*; cases with abdominal distension are difficult to treat.
**Ingredients:**
*Huashi* (Talcum, 5 liang, ground) *Shigao* (Gypsum Fibrosum, 5 liang, ground)
Grind these two ingredients into powder. Mix with barley gruel juice and administer one *Fang Cun Bi* per dose, three times daily. Recovery occurs when urination becomes extremely free. (*Xiao Pin Fang*, *Qian Jin Fang*, *Bei Ji Qian Jin Yao Fang*, and Wen Zhong all agree with this account. From Volume 18)
*Jin Xiao Fang* treats *Nü Lao Dan* and jaundice patients who experience fever at *Ri Bu* but paradoxically have aversion to cold; this is *Nü Lao Dan*. It arises from tension in the Bladder, lower abdominal fullness, generalized yellowing, black forehead, heat in the soles, leading to *Hei Dan* (Black Jaundice). The stool is inevitably black, the abdomen is distended as if containing water, and the stool is black and loose. This is *Nü Lao Dan*, not edema. The treatment is the same as for *Hei Dan*. For *Gu Dan* (Grain Jaundice), symptoms include dizziness after eating, palpitations, and mental restlessness; prolonged yellowing results in *Gu Dan*. Both should be treated with *Yin Chen Tang* (Artemisia Capillaris Decoction) mentioned previously. The formula is located in the section on "Generalized Body Yellowing."
*Bi Xiao Fang* treats jaundice due to *Nü Lao* characterized by shortness of breath and a deep voice. The following formula is suitable:
Burn menstrual cloths and blood-stained garments from women into ash. Take one *Fang Cun Bi* with wine on an empty stomach, twice daily. Recovery is guaranteed within three days.
