【大意】
腹痛分为三个部位。大腹（脐上腹部）疼痛，归属于太阴脾经；肚脐周围疼痛，归属于少阴肾经；小腹（脐下腹部）疼痛，归属于厥阴肝经以及冲脉、任脉和大肠、小肠。这些部位各有因五行相克（五贼）、七情内伤、六淫外邪及五运六气失调所致的病变。（出自《必读》）
【内因】
大腹疼痛，多由饮食积滞和寒邪引起；脐周疼痛，多由积热、痰湿和火邪引起；小腹疼痛，多由瘀血阻滞和小便不利引起。（出自《入门》）
【外候】
腹痛是脾脏受病所致。有的因有形之邪致病而痛，有的因无形之邪致病而痛。如果是突然饮食损伤，则胃脘部先痛，随后疼痛传入腹部；如果是突然触怒发火，则两胁肋部先痛，随后疼痛传入腹部。如果瘀血积聚在上焦，脾火熏蒸，则疼痛从腹部向上攻冲；如果瘀血积聚在下部，胃气下陷，则疼痛从腹部向下坠胀。感受寒邪的，疼痛持续不断，遇热则缓解；感受热邪的，疼痛发作有定时，遇冷则减轻。因饥饿引起的疼痛，过度饥饿时即痛，进食后停止；因饮食引起的疼痛，吃得过多则痛，排便后才感到舒适。伴有吞酸和腹痛的，是痰湿郁结在中焦；伴有痞闷和腹痛的，是气机搏结在中州（脾胃）。火热致痛的，肠中雷鸣作响，气冲无定处，痛处感觉发热，心烦口渴。虫痛致病的，腹部胀大且可见青筋暴露，饥饿时如虫咬啮，疼痛时必呕吐清水，疼痛停止后能进食。气虚致痛的，疼痛喜欢被按压，呼吸短浅；血虚致痛的，疼痛如芒刺扎入，牵引不安。（出自《汇补》）
【腹痛分辨】
疼痛伴有胀闷感的，多属实证；疼痛不伴胀闷感的，多属虚证。拒绝按压的为实证，可以按压的为虚证。喜欢寒冷的多为实证，喜爱温暖的多为虚证。饱食后加重的多为实证，饥饿时即感闷痛的多为虚证。脉象强劲、气息粗重的多为实证，脉象虚弱、气息微弱的多为虚证。新发病且年壮者多为实证，久病且年高者多为虚证。用补法无效的多为实证，用攻伐法反而加剧的多为虚证。病在经脉的，脉象多弦；大病在脏腑的，脉象多沉微。（出自《必读》）
【死候】
脐下突然剧烈疼痛，且人中穴部位发黑的，预后不良，主死。（出自朱丹溪）这是中恶或客忤所致。（出自《入门》）
【腹痛别症】
肠痈（肠道化脓性炎症）疼痛的，腹部沉重且痛，皮肤粗糙如鳞甲，绕脐生疮，小便像淋病一样涩痛。疝气疼痛的，大腹胀满，小腹急迫，疼痛向下牵引至睾丸，向上冲逆而痛。痧症疼痛的，或剧烈呕吐，或剧烈腹泻，上下绞痛，四肢厥冷，转筋抽搐。阴毒疼痛的，指甲青紫，面部嘴唇发黑，四肢厥逆呕吐，身体冰冷欲绝。积聚疼痛的，腹部有包块且可触及。痢疾疼痛的，肛门重坠紧迫。至于妇女腹痛，多与月经、胎孕有关，应当先审查清楚。（出自《汇补》）
【治法】
凡是疼痛多属于血行涩滞、气机郁滞，宜用甘味药来缓急止痛。寒证宜用辛温药消散，热证宜用苦寒药清解，虚证宜用甘温药调理，实证宜用辛寒药推荡攻逐。病位在上者用吐法，病位在下者用泻下法。根据五脏乘侮胜复的规律治疗，都以开胃调脾为主要原则。（出自《汇补》）
【补法宜审】
表虚疼痛，是阳气不足，非温通经脉不可；里虚疼痛，是阴血不足，非滋养营血不可；上虚疼痛，是脾胃受伤，非调补中州（脾胃）不可；下虚疼痛，是肝肾衰败，非温补命门不可。临证之时，最应仔细审察。（出自《汇补》）
【急救法】
可以用炒热的盐，或姜渣，或用麦麸皮炒热，用绢布包裹熨烫疼痛部位，冷了再炒热再熨烫，直到痊愈为止。或者使用催吐法也可以。
【用药】
主要使用二陈汤，加入香附、苏梗等。寒证加肉桂、木香；热证加黄连、芍药；痰证加枳实、苍术；食积加山楂、麦芽；血瘀加当归尾、玄胡索、桃仁、红花；气滞加厚朴、枳壳；虫积加槟榔、使君子；气虚加人参、白术；大实大满者，用大黄、槟榔攻下；大寒大虚者，用理中汤、建中汤温补；血虚疼痛者，用炮姜、芍药调和。
【附：腹中窄狭】
腹部属坤土，位居人体中央，负责升发心肺之阳，下降肾肝之阴。如果情志不畅，湿热交盛，自觉腹中狭窄，神志昏蒙，性情急躁，饮食减少，这多是湿热痰火横亘于中州，导致升降功能失常的情况，比比皆是。（出自《汇补》）
肥胖人多湿痰，宜用二陈汤加苍术、香附；消瘦人多湿火，宜用二陈汤加黄连、苍术；气血虚弱之人，宜用六君子汤加川芎、当归。
【附：小腹痛】
小腹是至阴之位，归属于厥阴肝经。有沉寒下虚，有积热内郁，或因愤怒所致，或因房劳损伤，致使中上二焦清纯之气，下陷至极阴之地，郁结日久不能舒展，疼痛牵连阴器，日久元气更加虚弱，不能回归本位，所以疼痛没有止境。然而肝主疏泄，不宜使用峻猛补益之法，总应以调和血气为主。（出自《汇补》）
气滞用四磨汤；血瘀用手拈散；寒郁用二陈汤，加干姜、吴茱萸、苍术、厚朴；热郁用四逆散，加黄连、山栀、香附、黄芩；沉寒用理中汤，加附子、肉桂、吴茱萸、小茴香；气陷用二陈汤，加升麻、柴胡、干姜、当归。如果是醉酒后行房事，导致小腹胀痛，可用当归、芍药、川芎、柴胡、青皮、吴茱萸、甘草之类。

[General Principles]
Abdominal pain is divided into three regions. Pain in the upper/middle abdomen (Da Fu) belongs to the Taiyin Spleen meridian; pain around the umbilicus belongs to the Shaoyin Kidney meridian; pain in the lower abdomen (Xiao Fu) belongs to the Jueyin Liver meridian, as well as the Chong and Ren vessels, and the Large and Small Intestines. Each region is subject to variations caused by the Five Elements' destructive cycles (Wu Zei), the Seven Emotions, the Six Exogenous Pathogens (Liu Qi), and pathogenic factors from the Five Movements and Six Qi. (From *Bi Du*)
[Etiology: Internal Factors]
Pain in the upper/middle abdomen is mostly due to food stagnation and cold pathogens; pain around the umbilicus is mostly due to accumulated heat, phlegm, and fire; pain in the lower abdomen is mostly due to blood stasis and dysuria. (From *Ru Men*)
[External Manifestations]
Abdominal pain is a disease of the Spleen. It may be caused by tangible pathogens or intangible pathogens. If suddenly injured by diet, epigastric pain occurs first, then spreads to the abdomen; if suddenly provoked by anger, hypochondriac pain occurs first, then spreads to the abdomen. If blood accumulation is in the Upper Jiao, Spleen fire steams upward, causing pain to attack upwards from the abdomen; if blood accumulation is in the Lower Jiao, Stomach Qi sinks downward, causing pain to drag downwards from the abdomen. Cold injury causes continuous pain that relieves with heat; heat injury causes intermittent pain that relieves with cold. Hunger-induced pain occurs when overly hungry and stops after eating; food-induced pain occurs after overeating and resolves after defecation. Abdominal pain with acid regurgitation indicates Phlegm-Dampness stagnating in the Middle Jiao; abdominal pain with stuffiness and oppression indicates Qi collision in the Middle State (Spleen/Stomach). Fire-induced pain features borborygmus (intestinal rumbling), erratic gas movement, a hot sensation at the painful site, irritability, and thirst. Parasitic pain features a distended abdomen with visible blue veins, biting sensations when hungry, vomiting of clear fluid during pain, and ability to eat when pain subsides. Qi-deficiency pain is relieved by pressure and accompanied by shortness of breath; Blood-deficiency pain feels like thorn pricks and causes restless pulling sensations. (From *Hui Bu*)
[Differentiation of Abdominal Pain]
Pain with distension and oppression is mostly Excess; pain without distension/oppression is mostly Deficiency. Rejection of pressure indicates Excess; acceptance of pressure indicates Deficiency. Preference for cold indicates Excess; preference for warmth indicates Deficiency. Worsening after fullness indicates Excess; oppression upon hunger indicates Deficiency. Strong pulse and coarse breathing indicate Excess; weak pulse and faint breathing indicate Deficiency. New onset in young adults indicates Excess; chronic condition in elderly indicates Deficiency. Ineffectiveness of tonification suggests Excess; aggravation by purgation suggests Deficiency. Disease in the meridians often presents with a wiry pulse; severe disease in the Zang organs often presents with a deep and faint pulse. (From *Bi Du*)
[Mortal Signs]
Sudden severe pain below the umbilicus combined with black discoloration of the philtrum indicates a fatal prognosis. (From Zhu Danxi) This is caused by Zhong E (sudden evil invasion) or Ke Wu (hostile spirit intrusion). (From *Ru Men*)
[Other Symptoms of Abdominal Pain]
Intestinal abscess (Chang Yong) pain features heavy abdominal pain, rough skin resembling fish scales, sores around the umbilicus, and dysuria-like urination. Hernia (Shan Qi) pain features abdominal distension, lower abdominal urgency, pain radiating down to the testicles, and upward rushing pain. Sha Syndrome pain features severe vomiting or diarrhea, severe cramping pain above and below, cold limbs, and muscle spasms. Yin Toxic pain features cyanotic nails, black face and lips, cold limbs with vomiting, and extreme body coldness. Accumulation/Mass pain features palpable masses. Dysentery pain features tenesmus (urgent feeling of incomplete defecation). For women, abdominal pain is often related to menstruation or pregnancy and should be examined first. (From *Hui Bu*)
[Therapeutic Methods]
Most pain is due to sluggish blood flow and stagnant Qi; sweet flavors should be used to relieve urgency. Cold patterns require acrid-warm dispersants; Heat patterns require bitter-cold clarifiers; Deficiency patterns require sweet-warm regulators; Excess patterns require acrid-cold pushers/purgatives. Diseases in the upper part are treated with emesis; diseases in the lower part are treated with purgation. Treatment follows the principles of overcoming and being overcome among the Zang-Fu, always prioritizing opening the stomach and regulating the Spleen. (From *Hui Bu*)
[Caution in Tonification]
Exterior Deficiency pain is due to Yang insufficiency and requires warming the meridians; Interior Deficiency pain is due to Yin insufficiency and requires nourishing Ying (Nutritive) Blood; Upper Deficiency pain is due to Spleen/Stomach injury and requires regulating and tonifying the Middle State; Lower Deficiency pain is due to Liver/Kidney failure and requires warming and tonifying the Gate of Vitality (Ming Men). Careful examination is crucial during clinical practice. (From *Hui Bu*)
[Emergency Rescue Methods]
One may use fried salt, ginger residue, or wheat bran fried hot, wrapped in silk cloth, and applied as a compress to the painful area. Re-fry and re-apply when cool until healed. Alternatively, emetic methods may be used.
[Medication]
The main formula is Er Chen Tang (Two-Cured Decoction), added with Xiang Fu (Cyperus Rhizome) and Su Geng (Perilla Stem). For Cold, add Rou Gui (Cinnamon Bark) and Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Root); for Heat, add Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizome) and Shao Yao (Peony Root); for Phlegm, add Zhi Shi (Immature Bitter Orange) and Cang Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma); for Food Stagnation, add Shan Zha (Crataegi Fructus) and Mai Ya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus); for Blood Stasis, add Gui Wei (Angelicae Sinensis Radix Tail), Yuan Hu Suo (Corydalis Rhizoma), Tao Ren (Persicae Semen), and Hong Hua (Carthami Flos); for Qi Stagnation, add Hou Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex) and Zhi Qiao (Aurantii Fructus); for Parasites, add Bing Lang (Arecae Semen) and Shi Jun Zi (Quisqualis Fructus); for Qi Deficiency, add Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) and Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma); for severe Excess and fullness, use Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) and Bing Lang for purgation; for severe Cold and Deficiency, use Li Zhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction) and Jian Zhong Tang (Establish the Middle Decoction) for warming; for Blood Deficiency pain, use Pao Jiang (Prepared Ginger) and Shao Yao to harmonize.
[Appendix: Narrowness in the Abdomen]
The abdomen belongs to Kun Earth and is located centrally, responsible for ascending the Yang of Heart/Lung and descending the Yin of Kidney/Liver. If emotional regulation fails and Damp-Heat flourishes, one may feel narrowness in the abdomen, mental confusion, irritability, and reduced appetite. This is commonly caused by Damp-Heat and Phlegm-Fire obstructing the Middle State, leading to dysfunction of ascending and descending mechanisms. (From *Hui Bu*)
Obese individuals often have Damp-Phlegm; treat with Er Chen Tang plus Cang Zhu and Xiang Fu. Thin individuals often have Damp-Fire; treat with Er Chen Tang plus Huang Lian and Cang Zhu. Individuals with Qi and Blood Deficiency should be treated with Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six-Gentlemen Decoction) plus Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) and Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix).
[Appendix: Lower Abdominal Pain]
The lower abdomen is the position of Extreme Yin and belongs to the Jueyin Liver meridian. Causes include sinking Cold and Lower Deficiency, or accumulated Heat internal depression, or anger, or sexual exhaustion. These cause the pure Qi of the Upper and Middle Jiao to sink to the lowest point, stagnating for a long time without relief, causing pain radiating to the genitalia. Over time, Yuan Qi (Primal Qi) becomes more deficient and cannot return to its original position, resulting in ceaseless pain. Since the Liver governs free flow, harsh tonification is contraindicated; the general principle is to harmonize Blood and Qi. (From *Hui Bu*)
For Qi Stagnation, use Si Mo Tang (Four-Mist Decoction); for Blood Stasis, use Shou Nian San (Hand-Picking Powder); for Cold Depression, use Er Chen Tang plus Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Wu Zhu Yu (Evodiae Fructus), Cang Zhu, and Hou Po; for Heat Depression, use Si Ni San (Frigid Extremities Powder) plus Huang Lian, Shan Zhi (Gardeniae Fructus), Xiang Fu, and Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix); for Sinking Cold, use Li Zhong Tang plus Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), Rou Gui, Wu Zhu Yu, and Hui Xiang (Foeniculi Fructus); for Qi Sinking, use Er Chen Tang plus Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix), Gan Jiang, and Dang Gui. If pain and distension occur after drinking and sexual intercourse, use Dang Gui, Shao Yao, Chuan Xiong, Chai Hu, Qing Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride), Wu Zhu Yu, and Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma).
