Why does testicular pain feel like intestinal/stomach pain?

228 views

How come, when I get hit in the balls, the pain feels like it’s in the intestine or stomach? The sensation resembles having a stomachache or something like that. I’m guessing it has to do with the neurons in the lower abdominal area and/or where they map to in the brain.

Most internal organs and the testicles are all connected via the same nerve:the vagus nerve and the body can’t really tell from where exactly the hurt signal came from.
