朱丹溪说:乳房是阳明胃经所经过的地方,乳头属于厥阴肝经。哺乳的母亲,不知道调养,被愤怒所逆乱,被郁闷所遏制,被浓味食物所酿成,导致厥阴之气不行,窍道不通,乳汁不得排出,阳明之血沸腾,热甚化脓。也有因为哺乳的孩子,膈间有滞痰,口气热,含着乳头睡觉,热气吹入,遂生结核。
初起时,便须忍痛,揉令稍软,吮令汁透,自然可以消散。错过这个时机不治疗,必成痈疖。如果加上艾灸两三壮,效果尤其快捷。粗劣的医生就用针刀,突然引发拙病。如果是丈夫与公婆忧怒郁闷,脾气消损,肝气横逆,遂成结核如棋子,不痛不痒,十数年后变为疮陷,名叫奶岩。因为疮形如嵌凹,似岩穴也,不可治了。如果在初生之际,能斟酌病根,使心清神安,然后医治,或许有可安的道理。

Moxibustion causes corrosive ulcers; if pus and clear fluid appear, it is treatable; if polyps or corrosive ulcers appear, it is fatal. *Su Wen* states: Needling above the nipple damaging the breast leads to swelling and root erosion.
Zhu Danxi said: The breast is traversed by the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian, and the nipple belongs to the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian. Nursing mothers who fail to regulate themselves may suffer from anger obstructing flow, depression blocking passages, and rich foods generating heat, causing Jueyin Qi stagnation, blocked orifices, and milk stasis. Yangming blood boils, heat transforms into pus. Also, if the nursing infant has phlegm stagnation in the diaphragm and hot breath, blowing heat into the breast while sleeping can cause nodules.
In the early stage, endure pain, massage until soft, and suck to clear milk ducts; it will dissipate naturally. Neglecting this leads to abscesses. Adding two or three cones of moxa accelerates healing. Unskilled practitioners using knives cause harm. If caused by family conflict leading to spleen Qi deficiency and liver Qi rebellion, nodules form like chess pieces, painless and itchless, turning into cancerous ulcers ("Nai Yan") after years, which is incurable. Early intervention with mental peace and medical treatment offers hope.
