Childbirth injures the blood and qi. Subsequently, if the deficiency and damage have not yet recovered, and one is injured by wind-cold pathogenic factors, the nature of blood is to coagulate when exposed to cold. Therefore, wind-cold injuring the meridional blood causes it to coagulate between the uterine collaterals, resulting in amenorrhea (cessation of menstruation). Whenever blood coagulation leads to menstrual obstruction, it transforms into a blood mass (blood accumulation forming a palpable lump). If water-dampness and blood stasis combine, and this occurs in individuals with weakened spleen and stomach functions and deficient muscle and skin layers, edema (swelling due to fluid retention) will develop.
