From the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, lower abdominal distension and pain that escalates with pressure is indicative of imbalances within the body's energy systems. TCM posits that such symptoms arise from disharmony among the body's essential energies, necessitating a diagnosis that identifies the specific "pattern" of disharmony.

This diagnosis is pivotal, as it steers the therapeutic approach, whether it involves herbal medicine, acupuncture, or other TCM modalities. Identifying the root cause allows for targeted treatment aimed at restoring balance and alleviating discomfort.
