Visceral Pain

The anatomy of the visceral innervation: different organs cover the entire abdomen and pelvic region, including

• Bladder
• Uterus
• Fallopian tubes
• Ovaries
• Lower part of the sigmoid and the rectum

Viscerosomatic conversion is a very interesting phenomenon when it comes to visceral pathways:

• It’s basically the explanation of the referred pain when there’s visceral pain
• It’s challenging for practitioners dealing with chronic abdominal pelvic pain
• Patients might have an inflammatory process or a certain kind of injury at a visceral organ, but then they will feel the pain referred in a somatic area
• Symptoms are confusing
