10 Causes of Testicle Pain
Cause #2: Inguinal Hernia
The organs of our bodies are held into place by tissues and muscles, and they will usually stay firmly in place without a problem. Sometimes, though, organs can protrude through our tissues, resulting in what is known in medical terms as a hernia. This can be quite painful and can also lead to potentially serious complications.
Specifically, an inguinal hernia occurs when part of the abdominal cavity protrudes through the inguinal canal. This canal is located in the groin area and can cause pain in the testicles as well as other symptoms. Among the most common complications associated with this type of hernia is the restriction of blood flow to the intestine.
