Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a distinct perspective on the red and swollen scrotum, viewing it as a manifestation of internal disharmonies rather than merely an isolated symptom. In TCM, the health of the scrotum, like all parts of the body, is closely related to the balance of Qi (energy), Blood, Yin, and Yang.

The appearance of such symptoms suggests an imbalance that may be caused by external factors like Dampness and Heat or internal issues affecting the Liver's function. TCM stresses the importance of diagnosing the underlying pattern of disharmony to effectively treat the condition.
