〔薛〕产后小腹作痛,俗名儿枕块,用失笑散行散之。若恶露既去而仍痛,用四神
散调补之。若不应,用八珍汤。若痛而恶心,或欲作呕,用六君子汤。若痛而泄泻,用六
君子汤送四神丸。若泄泻痛而或后重,用补中益气汤送四神丸。若胸膈饱胀,或恶食吞
酸,或腹痛手不可按,此是饮食所致,当用二陈加山楂、白术以消导。若食既消而仍痛,
或按之不痛,或更加头痛烦热,作渴恶寒欲呕等证,此是中气被伤,宜补脾胃为主。若
发热腹痛,按之痛甚,不恶食,不吞酸,此是瘀血停滞,用失笑散以消之。若止是发热
头痛,或兼腹痛,按之却不痛,此是血虚,用四物加炮姜、参、术以补之。《病机要》云∶
胎产之病,从厥阴经论之,无犯胃气及上中二焦,为之三禁,不可汗,不可下,不可利
小便。发汗者同伤寒下早之证,利大便则脉数而已动于脾,利小便则内亡津液,胃中枯
燥。制药之法,能不犯三禁,则荣卫自和而寒热止矣。如发渴,用白虎,气弱用黄 ,血
刺痛则用当归,腹中痛则加芍药,宜详察脉证而用之。丹溪先生云∶产后当大补气血为
先,虽有杂证,从末治之,一切病多是血虚,皆不可发表,一产妇腹痛发热,气口脉大,
余以为饮食停滞,不信,乃破血补虚,反寒热头痛,呕吐涎沫,又用降火化痰理气,四
肢逆冷,泄泻下坠,始悔。问余曰∶何也?余曰∶此脾胃虚之变症也。法当温补,遂用六
君加炮姜二钱,肉桂、木香各一钱,四剂,诸证悉退,再用补中益气之剂,元气悉复。
一妇人产后腹痛后重,去痢无度,形体倦怠,饮食不甘,怀抱久郁,患茧唇,寐而盗汗如
雨,竟夜不敢寐,神思消烁。余曰,气血虚而有热,用当归六黄汤内黄芩、连、柏炒黑,
一剂汗顿止,再剂全止。乃用归脾汤、八珍散兼服,元气渐复而愈。一产妇小腹作
痛,服行气破血之药不效,其脉洪数,此瘀血内溃为脓也,以瓜子仁汤二剂痛止,更以
太乙膏下脓而愈。产后多有此病,纵非痈,用之更效。一产妇小腹痛,小便不利,用薏
苡仁汤二剂痛止,更以四物加红花、桃仁,下瘀血而愈。大抵此证皆因荣卫不调,或瘀血
停滞所致,若脉洪数已有脓,脉但数微有脓,脉迟紧乃瘀血,下之即愈。若腹胀大,转侧
作水声,或脓从脐出,或从大便出,宜用蜡矾丸、太乙膏及托里药。一产妇小腹作痛
有块,脉芤而涩,以四物加玄胡、红花、桃仁、牛膝、木香治之而愈。一妇产后小腹
患痛,服瓜子仁汤下瘀血而痊。凡瘀血停滞,宜急治之,缓则腐化为脓,最难治疗。若流
注关节,则患骨疽,失治多为败证。一妇人寒月中产后腹大痛,觉有块,百方不治,一
人教以羊肉四两,熟地黄二两,生姜一两,水煎服之,二三次愈。
〔大〕儿枕者,由母胎中宿有血块,因产时其血破散,与儿俱下则无患也。若产妇
脏腑风冷,使血凝滞在于小腹,不能流通,则令结聚疼痛,名之曰儿枕也。

【薛己】产后小腹疼痛,俗称“儿枕块”,使用失笑散来行气活血、消散瘀血。如果恶露已经排尽但疼痛仍然持续,使用四神散进行调理和补益。如果服用后无效,使用八珍汤。如果疼痛伴有恶心,或者想要呕吐,使用六君子汤。如果疼痛伴有腹泻,使用六君子汤送服四神丸。如果腹泻且疼痛,或者有里急后重的感觉,使用补中益气汤送服四神丸。如果胸膈部饱胀,或者厌食、吞酸,或者腹痛且手不可按压,这是由饮食不当引起的,应当使用二陈汤加山楂、白术来消食导滞。如果食物已经消化但疼痛依旧,或者按压时不痛,或者出现头痛、烦热、口渴、恶寒、想要呕吐等症状,这是中气受损,应当以补益脾胃为主。如果发热且腹痛,按压时疼痛加剧,但不厌食、不吞酸,这是瘀血停滞所致,使用失笑散来消除瘀血。如果只是发热、头痛,或者兼有腹痛,但按压时却不痛,这是血虚所致,使用四物汤加炮姜、人参、白术来补益。《病机要》说:胎产疾病,应从厥阴经来论述,不要损伤胃气及上、中二焦,这就是所谓的“三禁”,即不可发汗,不可攻下,不可利小便。发汗会导致如同伤寒过早攻下那样的证候;利大便会使脉数而扰动脾脏;利小便会导致体内津液亡失,胃部干燥。制药的原则,如果不犯这“三禁”,那么营卫自然调和,寒热症状就会停止。如果出现口渴,使用白虎汤;气弱使用黄芪;血刺痛则使用当归;腹中痛则加芍药,应当详细诊察脉象和症状来用药。丹溪先生说:产后应当以大补气血为先,即使有其他杂症,也当作次要问题来处理,一切疾病多是由于血虚,都不可发表(发散解表)。有一个产妇腹痛发热,气口脉大,我认为她是饮食停滞,但她不信,反而使用破血补虚的药,结果导致寒热、头痛、呕吐涎沫,又用降火化痰理气的药,导致四肢逆冷、泄泻、肛门下坠,这才后悔。问我为什么这样?我说:这是脾胃虚弱产生的变症。治法应当温补,于是使用六君子汤加炮姜二钱,肉桂、木香各一钱,服用四剂后,所有症状全部消退,再使用补中益气汤,元气完全恢复。有一个妇人产后腹痛且有里急后重感,痢疾无度,身体倦怠,饮食无味,长期情绪抑郁,患茧唇症,睡觉时盗汗如雨,整夜不敢入睡,精神极度消耗。我说,这是气血虚弱而有热,使用当归六黄汤,并将其中的黄芩、黄连、黄柏炒黑,服用一剂后汗立刻停止,服用两剂后完全停止。然后使用归脾汤、八珍散同时服用,元气逐渐恢复而痊愈。有一个产妇小腹疼痛,服用行气破血的药物无效,其脉象洪数,这是瘀血内溃化为脓了,服用瓜子仁汤两剂后疼痛停止,再用太乙膏排出脓液而痊愈。产后多有这种病,即使不是痈肿,使用此方效果更好。有一个产妇小腹痛,小便不利,服用薏苡仁汤两剂后疼痛停止,再用四物汤加红花、桃仁,排出瘀血而痊愈。大抵这个证候都是因为营卫不调,或者瘀血停滞所致,如果脉象洪数说明已有脓,脉象仅数说明微有脓,脉象迟紧则是瘀血,攻下瘀血即可痊愈。如果腹部胀大,转动身体时有水声,或者脓从脐部流出,或者从大便流出,应当使用蜡矾丸、太乙膏以及托里透脓的药物。有一个产妇小腹疼痛且有肿块,脉象芤而涩,用四物汤加玄胡索、红花、桃仁、牛膝、木香治疗而痊愈。有一个妇产后小腹患病疼痛,服用瓜子仁汤排出瘀血而痊愈。凡是瘀血停滞,应当紧急治疗,拖延则会腐败化为脓,最难治疗。如果流注到关节,则患骨疽,失治大多成为败证。有一个妇人在寒冬月份产后腹部剧烈疼痛,感觉有肿块,各种方法都不见效,有人教她用羊肉四两,熟地黄二两,生姜一两,水煎服,两三次后痊愈。
【大论】所谓“儿枕”,是因为母亲在胎中素有血块,如果在分娩时这些血随胎儿一起排出就没有祸患。如果产妇脏腑受风冷侵袭,使血液凝滞在小腹,不能流通,从而结聚疼痛,就叫做“儿枕”。

〔大全〕产后恶血虽然通常通行,但如果因为外感五邪,内伤七情,导致突然停止,余血壅滞,所下的血不尽,所以导致腹痛,应当审察病因进行治疗。一个产妇小腹痛甚,牙关紧急,这是瘀血内停,灌服失笑散,下血后苏醒。又用四物汤加炮姜、白术、陈皮而痊愈。一个妇人月经量比平时过多不止,于是用涩药止住,导致腹部疼痛,这是气血凝滞,服用两服失笑散而痊愈。

[Xue Ji] Postpartum lower abdominal pain, commonly known as "child pillow mass" (Erzhen Kuai), should be treated with Shixiao San (Pain-Relieving Powder) to promote blood circulation and dissipate stasis. If lochia has been discharged but pain persists, use Sishen San (Four-Gentlemen Powder variant) to regulate and tonify. If ineffective, use Bazhen Tang (Eight-Treasure Decoction). If pain is accompanied by nausea or a desire to vomit, use Liujunzi Tang (Six-Gentlemen Decoction). If pain is accompanied by diarrhea, administer Liujunzi Tang with Sishen Wan (Four-Essence Pill). If diarrhea, pain, and tenesmus occur, administer Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) with Sishen Wan. If there is fullness in the chest and diaphragm, aversion to food, acid regurgitation, or abdominal pain that cannot be pressed, this is caused by food stagnation; use Erchen Tang (Two-Aged Decoction) added with Hawthorn Fruit (Shanzha) and Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome (Baizhu) to digest and guide out stagnation. If food stagnation has cleared but pain remains, or if pressing does not cause pain, or if headache, vexation, heat, thirst, aversion to cold, and vomiting appear, this indicates damage to Middle Qi; the treatment should primarily focus on tonifying the Spleen and Stomach. If fever and abdominal pain occur, with exacerbation upon pressure, no aversion to food, and no acid regurgitation, this is due to blood stasis retention; use Shixiao San to dissipate it. If there is only fever and headache, or accompanied by abdominal pain but no pain upon pressure, this is Blood deficiency; use Siwu Tang (Four-Material Decoction) added with Fried Ginger (Paojiang), Ginseng (Renshen), and Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome (Baizhu) to tonify. *Bingji Yao* states: Diseases related to pregnancy and childbirth should be discussed from the perspective of the Jueyin Meridian. One must not violate the Stomach Qi and the Upper and Middle Jiaos; this constitutes the "Three Prohibitions": no sweating, no purgation, and no promoting urination. Sweating is similar to the syndrome of premature purgation in Cold Damage; purging the bowels causes rapid pulse and moves the Spleen; promoting urination leads to loss of body fluids and dryness of the Stomach. The principle of preparing medicines is that if these three prohibitions are not violated, Ying and Wei will naturally harmonize, and chills and fever will cease. If thirst occurs, use Baihu Tang (White Tiger Decoction); for weak Qi, use Astragalus Root (Huangqi); for stabbing blood pain, use Angelica Sinensis Radix (Danggui); for abdominal pain, add White Peony Root (Shaoyao). One should carefully observe the pulse and symptoms before using them. Mr. Danxi said: Postpartum, one should prioritize greatly tonifying Qi and Blood. Even if there are other miscellaneous syndromes, they should be treated as secondary. Most diseases are due to Blood deficiency, and releasing the exterior (sweating methods) should never be used. A postpartum woman had abdominal pain and fever, with a large pulse at the Qi Kou position. I believed it was food stagnation, but she did not believe me. Instead, she used blood-breaking and tonifying drugs, which resulted in chills, fever, headache, and vomiting of saliva. She then used drugs to descend fire, resolve phlegm, and regulate Qi, leading to cold extremities, diarrhea, and a sensation of bearing down. Only then did she regret it. She asked me why. I said: This is a transformational syndrome of Spleen-Stomach deficiency. The method should be warming and tonifying. Thus, I used Liujunzi Tang added with two qian of Fried Ginger, one qian of Cinnamon Twig (Guixin), and one qian of Aucklandia Root (Muxiang). After four doses, all symptoms subsided. Then, using Buzhong Yiqi Tang, her Yuan Qi was completely restored. Another woman had postpartum abdominal pain with tenesmus, profuse dysentery, physical fatigue, poor appetite, long-term emotional depression, cornified lip (Jianchun), heavy night sweats during sleep, insomnia, and mental exhaustion. I said this is Qi and Blood deficiency with Heat. I used Danggui Liu Huang Tang, frying Huangqin, Huanglian, and Huangbai black. After one dose, sweating stopped immediately; after two doses, it stopped completely. Then, Guipi Tang and Bazhen San were taken together, and her Yuan Qi gradually recovered, leading to cure. A postpartum woman had lower abdominal pain. Medicines for moving Qi and breaking blood were ineffective. Her pulse was surging and rapid, indicating that blood stasis had internally ulcerated into pus. She took Guazi Ren Tang (Melon Seed Decoction) for two doses, and the pain stopped. Then, Taiyi Gao (Great One Ointment) was used to discharge pus, leading to recovery. This condition is common postpartum; even if it is not an abscess, this formula is more effective. A postpartum woman had lower abdominal pain and difficulty urinating. She took Yiyi Ren Tang (Coix Seed Decoction) for two doses, and the pain stopped. Then, Siwu Tang added with Safflower (Honghua) and Peach Kernel (Taoren) was used to discharge blood stasis, leading to recovery. Generally, this syndrome is caused by disharmony of Ying and Wei, or retention of blood stasis. If the pulse is surging and rapid, pus has formed; if the pulse is merely rapid, there is slight pus; if the pulse is slow and tight, it is blood stasis, which can be cured by purgation. If the abdomen is distended and large, with water sounds when turning, or if pus discharges from the umbilicus or bowels, use Lafan Wan (Beeswax and Alum Pill), Taiyi Gao, and interior-supporting medicines. A postpartum woman had lower abdominal pain with a mass, and her pulse was hollow and choppy. She was treated with Siwu Tang added with Corydalis Rhizome (Yanhusuo), Safflower, Peach Kernel, Achyranthes Root (Niuxi), and Aucklandia Root, leading to recovery. A postpartum woman had lower abdominal pain and was cured by taking Guazi Ren Tang to discharge blood stasis. Whenever blood stasis is retained, it should be treated urgently; if delayed, it rots and turns into pus, which is difficult to treat. If it flows into the joints, it causes bone abscesses (Guju); failure to treat properly often leads to fatal conditions. A woman gave birth in the cold winter month, suffering severe abdominal pain and feeling a mass. Hundreds of remedies failed. Someone taught her to decoct four liang of mutton, two liang of Prepared Rehmannia Root (Shudihuang), and one liang of fresh ginger in water. After two or three doses, she recovered.
[Da Lun] "Child pillow" (Erzhen) occurs because the mother had stagnant blood clumps in the womb prior to conception. During delivery, if this blood breaks apart and is expelled with the child, there is no harm. However, if the产妇's Zang-Fu organs are affected by wind-cold, causing blood to coagulate and stagnate in the lower abdomen without flowing freely, it forms a lump and causes pain, named "Child Pillow."

[Jinkui] Seven to eight days postpartum, without Taiyang syndrome, hardness and pain in the lower abdomen indicate lochia is not exhausted. Constipation, vexation, fever, faintly solid pulse, doubled fever, evening vexation, anorexia, delirium after eating, improvement at night. Da Chengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) is indicated. Heat is in the interior, knotting in the Bladder.
[Daqquan] Although lochia usually flows normally, external invasion of the Five Evils or internal injury of the Seven Emotions can cause sudden cessation. Residual blood stagnates, and incomplete discharge causes abdominal pain. One must investigate the cause and treat accordingly. A postpartum woman had severe lower abdominal pain and locked jaw; this was internal blood stasis. She was灌ed with Shixiao San, discharged blood, and regained consciousness. Then treated with Siwu Tang added with Fried Ginger, Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome, and Tangerine Peel for recovery. A woman had excessive menstrual bleeding that did not stop. She used astringents to stop it, causing abdominal pain due to Qi and Blood stagnation. Two doses of Shixiao San cured her.

*Daquan* divides lochia not exhausted abdominal pain, child pillow heart/abdominal stabbing pain, lower abdominal pain, and cold hernia into four categories. "Child pillow" refers to blood clumps existing in the womb before birth that do not exit with the child and remain in the abdomen causing pain. Pain from sluggish lochia discharge, where there was no original accumulation in the womb, is not called child pillow. If lochia is exhausted, and pain is due to other causes, such as Zhongjing's Zhishi Shaoyao San syndrome, or Blood deficiency abdominal pain like Zhongjing's Danggui Shengyang Roushou Tang syndrome, these should be discussed separately. Therefore, famous formulas are listed below. If Zhishi Shaoyao San fails, one must still seek blood stasis. Thus, Xiayuxue Tang formulas are attached, followed by tonification formulas. Cold hernia section is omitted.
*Jinkui* says: Postpartum abdominal pain, vexation, fullness, inability to lie down. Zhishi Shaoyao San is indicated.

Pound these two into powder. Take one cun bi, three times a day. Also treats carbuncle pus, taken with wheat porridge.
[Xue Ji] If the aforementioned syndrome is due to Qi stagnation, use Yanhusuo San. If due to external cold, use Wuji San. If due to anger, use Siwu Tang added with Aucklandia Root (Muxiang) and Bupleurum Root (Chaihu). If due to Blood deficiency, use Siwu Tang, Ginseng (Renshen), Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome (Baizhu), and Fried Ginger (Paojiang). If due to Yang Qi weakness, use Sijunzi Tang, Angelica Sinensis Radix (Danggui), and Fried Ginger (Paojiang). If due to Spleen deficiency and weak Blood, use Liujunzi Tang, Angelica Sinensis Radix (Danggui), and Fried Ginger (Paojiang). A postpartum woman suffered the aforementioned syndrome, sometimes vomiting, sometimes unconscious. This was Spleen Qi deficiency and cold. She gradually improved with Renshen Lizhong Tang, and fully recovered with Buzhong Yiqi Tang added with Poria (Fuling) and Pinellia Tuber (Banxia). Later, pain recurred with wheezing. She used Buzhong Yiqi Tang again to tonify Spleen and Lung, leading to recovery.
