Yin Protrusion / Uterine Prolapse
Updated 2026-08-03
INTRODUCTION
English translation pending.
CORE DEFINITION
Yin protrusion is the traditional Chinese medicine term for descent of the uterus or vaginal wall, in severe cases protruding beyond the vaginal opening. It is classically attributed to qi deficiency with sinking, so the ascending and consolidating functions fail and the pelvic organs are no longer held in place, often with instability of the conception and governing vessels. It corresponds to pelvic organ prolapse in modern medicine and is treated by supplementing qi and raising the sunken, alongside pelvic floor rehabilitation.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Support Check: Read the symptom as a failure of the lifting function, not merely as a local defect. - Aggravating Pattern: Note whether fatigue, heavy lifting, or childbirth worsens the descent. - Combined Plan: Pair qi-raising treatment with pelvic floor training and, when needed, surgery.
Anchor fast decisions
In Chinese medical physiology, qi holds the organs in their proper position against gravity. When qi is deficient and sinks, that lifting force weakens, so the structures with the least support descend under their own weight. The prolapse therefore signals a systemic deficiency rather than damage confined to the pelvis, which is why treatment aims to restore the ascending function as well as local support.
