Women and young girls, when afflicted by the seven emotions leading to melancholy, may experience a convergence of blood and qi, resulting in pain in the chest and abdomen. This pain may extend to the waist and ribs, or radiate to the back and spine, causing sharp, piercing sensations that move up and down. In severe cases, it may lead to convulsions. This condition can also cause irregular menstruation. However, any type of pain related to blood and qi can be treated effectively.
