INTRODUCTION

English translation pending.

CORE DEFINITION

Sexual strain jaundice is a jaundice pattern in the Golden Chamber arising after excessive sexual activity, particularly when followed by exposure such as cold water, leaving kidney deficiency combined with damp-heat and static blood. It presents with a dark or sooty forehead, a yellow body, chills and fever toward evening, and lower abdominal urgency. The qualifier is the underlying depletion: the dull and dark hue signals a deficiency-stasis root, which makes the pattern difficult to treat.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

- Underlying hue: read the dullness and darkness of the jaundice as a sign of a deficiency and stasis root - Root check: look for kidney depletion behind the yellow rather than assuming damp-heat alone - Severity flag: treat a dark-hued jaundice as harder to resolve and needing tonification with stasis-breaking

anchor

Anchor fast decisions

Jaundice usually reflects damp-heat, but when the underlying state is kidney depletion with static blood, the color loses its brightness and takes on a dark cast, because the deficient root cannot produce a clear and fresh hue. Damp-heat and stasis then bind together, and the lower abdominal urgency with evening chills and fever reflects the depleted interior. Because clearing damp-heat alone does not restore the root, treatment must tonify the kidney and break the stasis while clearing damp-heat.
