论曰阴疝肿缩者，寒邪客于厥阴之经，而阳气不能自温，故令诸筋拘急，阴器紧缩而肿
痛也，肝者筋之合也，筋者聚于阴器而络于舌本，脉不营即筋缩急，筋缩急则引卵与舌，故
舌卷卵缩者，皆厥阴为病也。

Discussion states: Yin hernia with swelling and retraction refers to cold pathogenic factors invading the Jueyin Meridian (Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian), causing Yang Qi to fail in self-warming, thereby leading to spasmodic tension of various sinews, contraction of the genital organ accompanied by swelling and pain. The Liver governs the sinews and is the convergence point of sinews; sinews gather at the genital organ and connect to the root of the tongue. If the meridians fail to nourish, the sinews will contract and become tense; such contraction will pull on the testicles and the tongue. Therefore, symptoms such as tongue curling and testicular retraction are all diseases of the Jueyin Meridian.
