谚云妇病不易治，盖以幽居情郁疑。执拗不喜望闻问，讳疾忌医术莫施。
【注】寇宗 曰∶宁治十男子，莫治一妇人。谓妇人之病多不易治也。盖以妇人幽居
情郁，忧恚爱憎多疑，所怀不遂，性执偏拗，诊时又不令医师观形、望色、闻声、问病。富
贵之家，居奥室之中，处帏慢之内，且复以帕蒙手，既不能行望色之神，又不能尽切脉
之巧。未免详问，问之觉繁，反谓医学不精，往往并药不信。不知问非易事，非精于医者，
必不能问也。夫望，闻、问、切四者，欲去其三，即是神医，亦无由施其术也。此古今
之通患，谓之曰妇人不易治，不诚然哉！
未诊妇人女子病，先问经期与妊娠，不详误药非细事，疑似难明昧所因。
【注】未诊妇人女子病，必先问经期与有无妊娠。若不详细审问，倘用药误触之，则
所关匪细，多变生他证；疑似难明，岂不昧其病之所因哉！

谚语说妇女的疾病不容易治疗，大概是因为她们幽居独处、情志抑郁且多疑。医生若固执己见，不喜欢运用望、闻、问、切四诊，患者又讳疾忌医，医术便无法施展。
【注】寇宗奭说：“宁愿医治十个男子，也不医治一个妇人。”这是说妇女的疾病大多不易治疗。大概因为妇人幽居独处，情志抑郁，忧愁愤怒、爱憎分明且多疑，心愿不遂，性格执拗偏激；就诊时又不让医师观察形体、望面色、听声音、询问病情。富贵人家，居住在深室之中，处在帷幔之内，并且用帕子蒙住手腕，既不能发挥望色的神妙，又不能尽展切脉的技巧。如果不详细询问，问起来觉得繁琐，反而认为医学不精通，往往连药也不相信。不知道问诊并非易事，不是精通医术的人，一定不能进行有效的问诊。夫望、闻、问、切四者，如果去掉其中三项，即使是神医，也没有办法施展医术了。这是古今共同的弊病，称之为“妇人不易治”，难道不是确实如此吗！
在未诊断妇女疾病之前，必须先询问月经周期和是否妊娠，如果不详细审问而误用药物，绝非小事，疑似难辨，难以查明病因。

The proverb states that women's diseases are difficult to treat, largely due to their secluded living conditions, emotional depression, and suspicion. If the physician is obstinate and dislikes employing the four diagnostic methods—inspection (Wang), auscultation and olfaction (Wen), inquiry (Wen), and palpation (Qie)—and the patient conceals illness and fears medical treatment, the medical art cannot be applied.
[Note] Kou Zongshi said: "I would rather treat ten men than one woman." This implies that women's diseases are generally difficult to treat. This is because women live in seclusion, suffer from emotional depression, have many worries, resentments, loves, hates, and suspicions; when their desires are unfulfilled, their nature becomes stubborn and biased. During consultation, they do not allow physicians to observe their physical form, inspect their complexion, listen to their voice, or inquire about their illness. Families of wealth reside in deep chambers, behind curtains, and often cover their wrists with handkerchiefs, making it impossible to utilize the subtlety of inspection and the skill of pulse palpation. If detailed inquiry is omitted, and the process of asking is deemed tedious, the patient may consider the physician medically incompetent and often refuse to believe in the medicine. One must understand that inquiry is not an easy task; only a physician proficient in medicine can conduct effective inquiries. Of the four methods—inspection, auscultation/olfaction, inquiry, and palpation—if three are removed, even a divine physician would have no way to apply their skills. This is a common malady throughout history, hence it is called "women's diseases are difficult to treat," which is indeed true!
Before diagnosing diseases in women, one must first inquire about the menstrual cycle and pregnancy status. Failure to ask in detail and administering incorrect medication is no minor matter; it may lead to other complications. When symptoms are ambiguous and difficult to clarify, how can one fail to understand the cause of the disease?
