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

Chinese: 㿗 tuí 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)
