Downfall

㿗 〔㿗〕tuí

Also slumping. A general name for diseases of the anterior yīn, including, in males, swelling of the testicles and sagging of one testicle etc, and in females, vaginal protrusion, etc.

Etymology

Chintuí developed from 穨 tuí, 颓 tuí, used to denote a disease of the external genitals. As a verb, 穨 tuí means to slump, collapse, fall, and appears to denote the disease because it is the result of qì slumping downward (下隤 xià chuí)
