Why does testicular pain feel like intestinal/stomach pain?

223 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.

Early in fetal development, we’re essentially all female – the reproductive organs are internal. It’s only later on in development that the male organs descend. But the nerve “wiring” stays the same.
