Features: Every woman goes through stages such as marriage, pregnancy, childbirth, or induced abortion. Due to differences in physical strength, living environments, and economic conditions (rich or average), some pregnant and postpartum women pass through these stages smoothly, while others may develop certain conditions, bringing hardship to this period. The onset of these conditions is influenced by the physiological changes during pregnancy, when blood is gathered to nourish the fetus, and by bleeding during childbirth or induced abortion, which weakens the body. Additionally, carelessness in daily routines or improper postpartum care and regulation can contribute to these conditions. These are unique conditions for pregnant and postpartum women and are of concern to both women and men. Recognizing this, this book is meticulously compiled with practical clinical considerations, drawing on the author's over 50 years of clinical experience and referencing the expertise of renowned physicians. It focuses on introducing over 210 types of conditions during pregnancy, postpartum recovery, conditions after induced abortion, and breast diseases, along with more than 1,200 ancient, empirical, and secret prescriptions, hoping to assist readers. Breast diseases are also unique to women, occurring not only during pregnancy and childbirth but also postpartum, making them common gynecological conditions. Therefore, they are given special emphasis in this book. The book provides the number of doses for each condition's medication for reference, allowing readers to decide based on their specific circumstances. Unspecified Chinese herbal medicines in the book are used in their raw form.
