论述说：产后应当勤挤乳汁，不宜让乳汁蓄积。如果蓄积不去，就会凝结不再流出。恶毒的汁液在体内引发热邪，导致体温升高、结块坚硬，牵拉性疼痛，极度口渴想喝水，乳房急痛，手不敢触碰。这形成的是“妒乳”，并非真正的痈疽。应立即灸双手鱼际穴十四壮，以断绝痈脉。这样就不再怕手触碰，乳汁也会自然流出，此时就可以用手辅助挤压捋顺，乳汁就会大量排出，看起来都像脓状。内服连翘汤，外用赤小豆磨成薄粉涂抹，即可痊愈。又用绳子横量口部宽度，以此长度从乳头向上测量，在测量长度的末端处灸十四壮。（出自《千金翼方》）
《千金方》论述说：女性患乳痈，四十岁以下的人，治疗大多能痊愈；四十岁以上的人，治疗大多死亡。如果不治疗，也能活到自然寿命终结。有一位亲属七十岁，患了乳痈，不相信这个理论，让外科医生用刀切开，当时虽然痛快，但不到一年就去世了。这才知道《千金方》的话是可信的。
有的方法是用捣碎的地黄汁外敷；有的用捣碎的蔓菁叶或根外敷，变热了就更换；有的用白芷末温水调匀外敷，效果很好。

Yingchuang (ST16, Breast Window) treats breast abscess with chills and fever. The patient experiences restless sleep. (From *Tongren Shuxue Zhenjiu Tujing*)
Linqi (GB41, Foot Gaping) treats breast abscess. (Recorded in contexts related to menstruation).
Shenfeng (BL17, Divine Enclosure) treats the sensation of aversion to cold and shivering associated with breast abscess. (Same record in Ming dynasty texts).
Rugen (ST18, Breast Root) treats the desolate cold sensation (Qianlu edition of *Qianjin Fang* adds "heat") and pain associated with breast abscess. The pain is severe and cannot be pressed.
Zusanli (ST36, Leg Three Miles) primarily treats breast abscess (*Tongren* agrees), accompanied by heat. (Qianlu edition of *Qianjin Fang*).
Xialian (ST39, Lower Limb Hollow) primarily treats breast abscess, jing-bi (startling bi-syndrome), heaviness of the lower legs. (*Tongren* reads as throat bi-swelling). Inability to lift the dorsum of the foot, heel pain.
Shenfeng (BL17) and Yingchuang (ST16) primarily treat breast abscess accompanied by chills and fever, shortness of breath, and restless sleep.
Tianxi (ST22, Heavenly Stream) and Xiaxi (GB43, Gaping Stream) primarily treat breast swelling and abscess ulceration.
Discussion states: After childbirth, one should frequently express milk and not allow it to accumulate. If accumulation occurs and is not expelled, it will coagulate and fail to flow out. Toxic fluids within induce heat, leading to elevated temperature, firm induration, pulling pain, extreme thirst with desire to drink, urgent breast pain, and inability to touch the area with hands. This condition forms "Du Ru" (Jealous Breast), which is not a true abscess. Immediately moxa the Yuji points on both hands for fourteen moxibustion doses to sever the abscess pulse. This will eliminate fear of touch, and milk will flow naturally. At this point, manual assistance can be used to squeeze and guide the flow, resulting in large quantities of milk discharge, appearing like pus. Internally administer Liaoqiao Tang (Forsythia Decoction); externally apply a thin paste of Vigna angularis (Adzuki Bean). Recovery follows. Alternatively, measure the width of the mouth horizontally with a rope, use this length to measure upwards from the nipple, and moxa the end of the measurement for fourteen moxibustion doses. (From *Qianjin Yifang*)
The *Qianjin Fang* discussion states: For women suffering from breast abscess, those under forty years old are mostly cured by treatment; those over forty years old often die despite treatment. Without treatment, they may live out their natural lifespan. A relative aged seventy suffered from breast abscess but did not believe this theory. She allowed a surgeon to incise it with a knife. Although initially relieving, she died within a year. Only then did she realize the reliability of the *Qianjin Fang*.
Some methods involve applying crushed fresh Rehmanniae Radix juice; others use crushed leaves or roots of Brassica rapa var. trilocularis (Turnip) applied topically, changing when warm. Some use Angelicae Dahuricae Radix powder mixed with warm water for topical application, which is effective.
