Flooding and spotting (abnormal discharge of blood via the vagina) with abdominal pain is attributed either to blood stasis or blood vacuity.

Medicinal therapy: If due to blood stasis, the abdominal pain refuses pressure and is relieved by the passing of clots. Move stasis and relieve pain with formulas such as Sudden Smile Powder (失笑散 shī xiào sǎn). If due to blood vacuity, it is characterized by abdominal pain that likes warmth and pressure and is treated by nourishing the blood and stanching bleeding with Ass Hide Glue and Mugwort Four Agents Decoction (胶艾四物汤 jiāo ài sì wù tāng).
