阴部有物突出，形状像菌类或灵芝，或者挺出数寸长，这称为“阴挺”。这种情况可能是因为胞络（连接子宫的脉络）受损，也可能是因为分娩时过度劳累，或者是由于郁热下坠，又或者是气虚导致下脱。大体上，这种病症应当以升提补益元气、固涩真阴为主要治疗原则。如果是阴虚导致的滑脱不禁，适宜使用固阴煎、秘元煎；如果是气虚下陷，适宜使用补中益气汤、十全大补汤；如果是因分娩过劳导致气陷，适宜使用寿脾煎、归脾汤；如果是郁热下坠，适宜使用龙胆泻肝汤、加味逍遥散。

水杨汤：治疗妇人阴中生出的赘生物，伴有瘙痒疼痛并牵引腰腹，多由房事过度引起，或因淫欲不得满足，或因不合礼法的行为，导致阴户受伤，名为阴挺。
药材：金毛狗脊、五倍子、枯矾、鱼腥草、水杨根、黄连（各一两）。
将上述药材研为细末，分为四剂。用带嘴的瓦罐煎煮药汤，预先准备去节的竹筒连接罐嘴，引导热气熏入阴中，或者熏透挺出的部位。待药汤温度适宜后，再用其清洗患处。同时内服治疗阴挺的其他药物。
妇人阴肿，大多属于阴挺的同类病症。然而，“挺”者多属虚证，“肿”者多属实热。如果是气陷兼有热象，宜升提并清利，适宜使用清化饮，加入柴胡、防风等药物；如果是气机闭塞兼有热象，宜通利并清解，适宜使用大厘清饮、徙薪饮；如果是肝肾阴虚兼有热象，适宜使用加味逍遥散；如果是气虚气陷导致肿胀，适宜使用补中益气汤；如果是因生产损伤阴户导致肿胀，不必专门治疗肿胀，只需调理气血，气血调和则肿胀自然消退；如果是由损伤导致气滞，与元气无关而肿胀，仅用百草汤（注：即百草煎）熏洗即可达到妙效。
清化饮（参见血热经早章节）
大厘清饮（参见白浊遗淋章节）
徙薪饮（参见崩淋经漏不止章节）
百草煎（参见《新方八阵·因阵》）：治疗各种痈毒疮疡、损伤疼痛、腐肉肿胀，或风寒湿气留聚、游走性疼痛等症，无不具有奇效。
百草：凡是田野山间生长的草药，无论何种品种，都可以取用，但以山草为佳，气味辛香的更好，冬季可以使用干品，需提前采收。
不论数量多少，取药煎煮浓汤，趁热熏洗患处，然后用布帛蘸药液熨烫良久，务必使药气蒸透，然后再敷贴其他药物。每天二至三次均可，以频繁使用为好。大概是因为药性寒凉的可以除热，药性温热的可以散寒，气味芳香的可以行气，有毒性的可以解毒，无所不用，也无所不利。汤剂获得药性则汤气无害，药物获得汤气则药力运行更畅。凡是用百草煎膏，道理也是如此，这确实是外科中最重要最佳的方法，也是传授给方术之外人的技术。如果是治疗阴囊水肿肿胀，每次须用草药二三十斤，煎煮浓汤两三口锅，用大盆盛装，用席子遮挡风，熏洗良久，每天一次或两次，内服廓清饮等分利药剂，效果极佳。
另一方：治疗阴中肿痛。用枳壳半斤，切片炒制，趁热用布包裹，熨烫患处，以消除外部肿胀，仍用少许趁热包裹纳入阴中，变冷即更换，不超过三次即可痊愈。
The protrusion of tissue from the vagina, resembling a mushroom or fungus, or extending several inches, is termed "Yin Ting" (uterine prolapse). This condition may result from damage to the Bao Luo (uterine ligaments), excessive exertion during childbirth, downward sinking due to constrained heat, or downward collapse due to Qi deficiency. Generally, the treatment for this syndrome should focus on raising and tonifying Yuan Qi (primordial Qi) and securing/astringing Zhen Yin (True Yin). For cases of sliding discharge due to Yin deficiency, Gu Yin Jian (Solidify Yin Decoction) and Mi Yuan Jian (Secretify Origin Decoction) are suitable; for sinking due to Qi deficiency, Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) and Shi Quan Da Bu Tang (Ten Complete Tonification Decoction) are suitable; for sinking due to Qi deficiency caused by excessive exertion during childbirth, Shou Pi Jian (Longevity Spleen Decoction) and Gui Pi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction) are suitable; for downward sinking due to constrained heat, Long Dan Xie Gan Tang (Gentian Liver-Draining Decoction) and Jia Wei Xiao Yao San (Modified Free Wanderer Powder) are suitable.

Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (See Irregular Menses)
Shi Quan Da Bu Tang (See Supplementary Formulas for Regulating Menses)
Shou Pi Jian (See Blood Deficiency Menstrual Disorder)

Long Dan Xie Gan Tang (See Non-closure of the Birth Gate)
Jia Wei Xiao Yao San (See Irregular Menses)
Shui Yang Tang: Treats growths in the vagina of women, accompanied by itching, pain radiating to the waist and abdomen. This is mostly caused by excessive sexual intercourse, unfulfilled sexual desire, or illicit acts, leading to injury of the Yin Hu (vaginal opening), named "Yin Ting".
Herbs: Cibotii Rhizoma (Jin Mao Gou Ji), Terminaliae Chebulae Fructus (Wu Bei Zi), Alum (Ku Fan), Houttuyniae Herba (Yu Xing Cao), Salix Tomentella Root (Shui Yang Gen), Coptidis Rhizoma (Huang Lian) (each 1 liang).
Grind the above herbs into powder, divide into four doses. Decoct in a spouted earthenware pot. Prepare a bamboo tube with joints removed beforehand to connect to the pot's spout, guiding the steam into the vagina or penetrating the prolapsed part. When the decoction is warm enough, use it to wash the area. Concurrently, take internal medicines for treating prolapse.
Female vaginal swelling is largely of the same category as prolapse. However, prolapse often indicates deficiency, while swelling often indicates heat. If there is Qi sinking with heat, raise and clear it; Qing Hua Yin (Clear Transform Drink) added with Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix) and Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) is suitable. If there is Qi obstruction with heat, drain and clear it; Da Li Qing Yin (Great Purify Clear Drink) and Xi Xin Yin (Extinguish Fire Drink) are suitable. If there is Liver-Kidney Yin deficiency with heat, Jia Wei Xiao Yao San (Modified Free Wanderer Powder) is suitable. If there is swelling due to Qi deficiency and sinking, Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) is suitable. If swelling results from childbirth injury to the vaginal opening, there is no need to specifically treat the swelling; simply regulate Qi and Blood, and the swelling will recede naturally. If swelling is due to injury causing Qi stagnation, unrelated to Yuan Qi, using Bai Cao Tang (Hundred Herbs Decoction) (Note: i.e., Bai Cao Jian) for fumigation and washing is excellent.
Qing Hua Yin (See Early Heat-Induced Menses)
Da Li Qing Yin (See White Turbidity and Dribbling Urination)
Xi Xin Yin (See Metrorrhagia and Leukorrhea with Unstopping Bleeding)
Bai Cao Jian (Hundred Herbs Decoction) (See *New Formulas Eight Arrays · Yin Array*): Treats various carbuncles, sores, trauma pain, putrid flesh swelling, or accumulation of wind-cold-dampness causing wandering pain, etc., with miraculous efficacy.
Bai Cao (Hundred Herbs): Any herbs found in fields or mountains can be used, but mountain herbs are superior, especially those with pungent aromas. In winter, dried herbs can be used if harvested in advance.
Regardless of quantity, decoct into a strong soup. Fumigate and wash the affected area while hot. Then, soak cloth in the liquid and apply warm compresses for a long time, ensuring the medicinal vapor penetrates thoroughly. Afterwards, apply other topical medications. Twice or three times daily is acceptable, with frequent application being preferable. Generally, cold-natured herbs remove heat, warm-natured herbs disperse cold, aromatic herbs move Qi, and toxic herbs detoxify. They are useful in all aspects without disadvantage. The water acquires the herb's nature, becoming harmless; the herb acquires the water's vapor, enhancing its potency. The principle for making pastes from hundred herbs is the same. This is truly the most important and best method in external medicine, also taught to lay practitioners. For treating hydrocele or scrotal edema, use 20-30 jin of herbs per session, decoct into 2-3 pots of strong soup, store in a large basin, shield from wind with a mat, fumigate and wash for a long time, once or twice daily. Internally, administer Kuo Qing Yin (Clear the Vessel Drink) and similar draining formulas for excellent results.
Another formula: Treats pain and swelling in the vagina. Use 8 oz of Zhi Ke (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus), sliced and stir-fried. Wrap in cloth while hot and apply as a warm compress to reduce external swelling. Also, wrap a small amount in cloth while hot and insert into the vagina, replacing when cool. It heals within three applications.
Another formula: Decoct Xiaomai (Tritici Fructus), Poxiao (Natrii Sulfas), Baifan (Alumen), Wu Bei Zi (Terminaliae Chebulae Fructus), and Congbai (Allii Fistulosi Bulbus) in water for soaking and washing.
Gan Ju Tang (Chrysanthemum Decoction): Treats vaginal swelling. Use fresh leaves and shoots of Gan Ju (Chrysanthemi Indici Flos), any quantity. Mash them, pour boiling water over them to extract the juice, and use for fumigation and washing.
