Pudendal cold disorder
Where they diverge
Traditional concepts do not map one-to-one onto modern diagnoses. Read the divergence note first.
The research found no literature-supported modern correspondence for this entry, and asserting none is the accurate state. This is a symptom name for a sensation of cold in the genital region. The modern classification has no standalone entry for it; the same complaint is distributed across several diagnoses by cause, and that causal workup forms no part of the traditional concept.
- Research confidence: low. The full assessment, in Korean, is in docs/PATTERN_RESEARCH_KCD_DISEASES.md.
- The modern correspondences come from literature research, not from an official KCD or KTKP mapping, so the highest mapping confidence is not assigned.
- Full evidence and citations are in docs/PATTERN_RESEARCH_KCD_DISEASES.md.
- KCD does not carry the Donguibogam volume, so it is left blank here. It needs checking against the original text.
- 6 question(s) the research could not settle — see the research document.
