*Bing Yuan Lun* (Treatise on the Origins of Diseases) states: The symptoms of Tui disease (scrotal swelling/hernia) involve enlargement of the testicles/scrotum.

Upon onset, there is distension, downward sensation of Qi, and abdominal fullness.

*Duan Ju Fang* (Short Drama Prescriptions): Mudan Wuzhi San (Peony Five-Hemorrhoid Powder) treats Tui Shan (scrotal hernia), where one side of the scrotum is enlarged, with Qi moving up and down, causing distension, wandering pain, and severe swelling that impedes movement.

It also states: Male Tui disease is categorized into four types: Chang Tui (Intestinal Hernia), Luan Zhang (Testicular Swelling), Shui Tui (Water Hernia), and Qi Tui (Qi Hernia). Chang Tui and Luan Zhang are difficult to cure; however, Qi Tui and Shui Tui respond well to acupuncture and moxibustion.
