摘要

中國自古受封建思想之影響，男女婚配除了門當戶對之外，傳宗接代茲事體大，所謂「不孝有三，無後為大」，因此婦女無論出身名門或是一般家庭，都要承受生育之重責大任，更甚者有因結婚多年不孕，必需接受丈夫納妾，或者以「七出」之由而被離婚，孤獨的度過一生。因此，有些體質虛弱的婦女就有「鬼交」的現象，甚而產生「鬼胎」的症狀。中醫源遠流長歷代醫家們在對鬼胎的認識和治療各有不同的面貌。女性患者是中醫診療上的多數族群，近年來於國外輔助或補充療法十分盛行，常用於一些慢性、精神、和非特定之疾患，且精神疾患患者對此類療法之接受度似乎高於一般民眾，研究亦發現女性使用中醫藥治療的頻率較高。本文即根據醫籍中的記載，探討此類疾病的成因、病機以及其治療，期望結果可作為治療此類疾病的參考。
