Traditional concepts do not map one-to-one onto modern diagnoses. Read the divergence note first.
The traditional concept is broader: it names lower abdominal pain after childbirth, defined by timing and symptom without specifying a cause.
Conversely the modern classification distinguishes afterpains from uterine subinvolution and codes serious causes such as postpartum haemorrhage, infection and thrombosis separately. The traditional name carries no such differential axis. The research notes there is no dedicated modern code for it — only symptom codes.
Mapping confidence: ◆◆◇Strong correspondencebasis: literatureauto-generated · not individually reviewed
Research confidence: medium. 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.
