How it's used
Medical terminology in Cantonese often relies on loanwords or formal Sino-Japanese characters that are identical to those used in written Chinese. While the term is technical, it is frequently heard in clinical settings or when discussing health issues among older men. It is rarely used in casual social settings unless the conversation specifically turns to health or medical checkups.
