夫天地造端乎夫妇，乾坤配合于阴阳，虽清浊动静之不同，而成象效法之有类。原兹妇人之
病，如风、寒、暑、湿、燥、火六气之外侵；喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐、惊七情之内扰，与夫饮
食劳役诸患，悉与男子同法治理。其不同者三焉。一、妇人气习偏僻，执滞难移，情志抑遏不舒
，心思郁结不畅。丹溪所谓妇人之病，因于郁者，十常八九，富贵贫贱皆有之，何也？盖贪、恋
、慈、爱、妒、嫉、忧、忌八者之中，一有所染，则蒂固根深，坚牢不破，是以有郁也。故多胸
满痞膈，胁胀腹膨诸证，医难豁然快效，此性质之不同也。二、妇人常多讳疾之弊，虽问之未必
尽吐。若豪贵之妇，深居奥室之中，覆护帏幔之内，不可望色闻声，则治病之法，阙其二焉。黄
帝曰∶凡治病。察其形气色泽。形气相得，谓之可治；色泽已孚，谓之易已。形气相失，谓之难
治；色夭不泽，谓之难已。又曰∶诊病之道，观人勇怯、骨肉皮肤，能知其虚实，以为诊法。若
妇人脉病不相应，既不见其形，医惟据脉供药；或未得其病情，欲究感受根源，不免琐屑繁问，
逮为医学不精故耳。往往得药，反不深加敬信，可谓最难，此治疗之不同也。三、妇人之病多于
男子者，经脉愆期，淋、带、崩漏，孕育胎产，乳、阴诸患，及妊娠所挟之证，此为病之不同也
。故诊视用药之际，难于调理。古人云∶宁医十男子，莫医一妇人。斯言诚然也。《脉经》曰∶
寸口脉微而涩，微则卫气不足，其息短，其形燥；涩则荣气不足，其形逆。荣卫俱虚，言语乏力
。微弱而涩，少年无子，中年绝产。六脉沉弦细涩急数，皆病脉。妇人之病，气多血少而成，治
法以理气养血为主。

、四物汤加黄 、肉桂（方见虚损。）
天地万物的起源在于夫妇，乾坤的配合基于阴阳，虽然清浊、动静的性质不同，但形成的形象效法却有着相似之处。推究妇女的疾病，无论是风、寒、暑、湿、燥、火六气的外在侵袭，还是喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐、惊七情（指人的情绪变化）的内在干扰，以及饮食、劳役等种种病患，治疗原则都与男子相同。其中不同的地方有三点。第一，妇女的气质习性往往偏颇固执，难以改变，情志容易压抑而不舒畅，心思郁结而不通畅。朱丹溪曾说妇女的疾病，因于郁结的，十有八九，无论富贵贫贱都有这种情况，为什么呢？大概是因为贪、恋、慈、爱、妒、嫉、忧、忌这八种心理中，只要沾染了一种，就会根深蒂固，坚牢不破，因此产生郁结。所以常出现胸满痞膈、胁肋胀满、腹部膨隆等症状，医生很难迅速取得显著疗效，这是体质性质的不同。第二，妇女常有隐瞒病情的弊病，即使询问也未必能全部说出。如果是豪门贵族的妇女，深居在内室之中，覆盖着帷幔之内，医生无法通过望诊观察面色、闻诊听取声音，那么治病的“望”和“闻”两种方法就缺失了两种。黄帝说：“大凡治病，要观察病人的形体、气息、色泽。形体与气息相协调，称为可治；色泽尚好，称为容易痊愈。形体与气息不相协调，称为难治；面色枯槁无光泽，称为难以痊愈。”又说：“诊断疾病的道理，要观察人的勇敢或怯懦、骨骼肌肉皮肤的状态，从而了解其虚实情况，以此作为诊断方法。”如果妇女脉象与病情不相符合，既看不见她的形体，医生只能依据脉象开药；或者未能掌握病情全貌，想要探究感受病邪的根源，不免要进行琐碎繁杂的询问，这往往是医术不精的缘故。病人得到药物后，反而不加深切敬重和信任，可以说是最难治疗的，这是治疗过程的不同。第三，妇女的疾病多于男子的，在于月经愆期（延期），淋证、带下、崩漏，孕育胎产，乳房、阴部等各种病患，以及妊娠期间夹杂的病证，这是疾病种类的不同。所以在诊视用药之际，调理起来比较困难。古人说：“宁可医治十个男子，也不要医治一个妇人。”这话确实如此。《脉经》说：“寸口脉微而涩，微则卫气不足，呼吸短促，形体干燥；涩则营气不足，形体逆乱。营卫俱虚，言语乏力。脉微弱而涩，少年时无子嗣，中年时绝育不孕。六脉沉弦细涩急数，都是病脉。妇女的疾病，多因气多血少而形成，治疗方法以理气养血为主。”

The origin of heaven and earth lies in the union of husband and wife, and the coordination of Qian (Heaven) and Kun (Earth) is based on Yin and Yang. Although their properties of clarity/turbidity and motion/stillness differ, the images they form and the laws they follow are similar. Investigating women's diseases, whether caused by the external invasion of the Six Qi (Wind, Cold, Summer-heat, Dampness, Dryness, Fire) or the internal disturbance of the Seven Emotions (Joy, Anger, Worry, Pensiveness, Sorrow, Fear, Fright), as well as various ailments from diet and labor, are treated with the same principles as men. There are three differences. First, women's temperament tends to be biased and stubborn, difficult to change; their emotions are often suppressed and unexpressed, and their minds are depressed and blocked. Zhu Danxi said that for women's diseases, eight or nine out of ten are due to depression (Qi stagnation). This applies to both rich and poor. Why? Because among greed, attachment, kindness, love, jealousy, envy, worry, and caution, once one is tainted, it becomes deeply rooted and firm, leading to depression. Thus, symptoms such as chest fullness, epigastric distension, hypochondriac swelling, and abdominal bloating often occur, making it difficult for doctors to achieve rapid and effective results. This is a difference in physical constitution. Second, women often have the flaw of concealing their illness; even when asked, they may not reveal everything. Noblewomen, living deep in inner chambers behind curtains, cannot be examined via inspection (Wang) or listening/smelling (Wen), thus two of the four diagnostic methods are missing. The Yellow Emperor said: "In treating disease, observe the patient's form, Qi, color, and luster. If form and Qi are harmonious, it is treatable; if color is good, it heals easily. If form and Qi are discordant, it is difficult to treat; if the complexion is dull and lacks luster, it is hard to heal." He also said: "The way to diagnose is to observe courage or timidity, bones, muscles, and skin to determine deficiency or excess." If a woman's pulse does not match her condition, and her form is unseen, the doctor relies solely on the pulse; or if the full condition is unknown and the root cause is sought, tedious questioning is unavoidable, often due to imprecise medical skills. Patients receiving medicine often lack deep respect and trust, which is considered the most difficult aspect. This is a difference in the treatment process. Third, women suffer from more diseases than men due to menstrual irregularities, strangury (Lin syndrome), leukorrhea (Dai xia), metrorrhagia and metrostaxis (Beng Lou), pregnancy and childbirth issues, breast and genital ailments, and complications during pregnancy. These are differences in disease types. Therefore, diagnosis and medication are harder to regulate. As the ancients said: "Better to treat ten men than one woman." This is true. The *Mai Jing* (Pulse Classic) states: "If the Cun Kou pulse is faint and choppy, faint indicates insufficient Wei Qi, short breath, and dry form; choppy indicates insufficient Ying Qi and reversed form. When Ying and Wei are both deficient, speech is weak. Faint, weak, and choppy pulses indicate infertility in youth and cessation of reproduction in middle age. Deep, wiry, fine, choppy, rapid, and hurried pulses are all pathological. Women's diseases often result from abundant Qi and scarce Blood; the treatment method focuses on regulating Qi and nourishing Blood."
