Answer for screen readers
Referred pain in the cutaneous distribution of the obturator nerve is often associated with the ovaries.
More Information
The ovary's referred pain can sometimes be misinterpreted as coming from other pelvic structures, but distinguishes itself in relation to the obturator nerve due to its particular anatomical proximity.
Tips
A common mistake is to associate referred pain to nearby organs other than the ovary, such as the bladder or prostate, due to a misunderstanding of the specific pathways of nerve innervation.
