I'm sorry, what? There is a circular "weak spot" in the anterior abdominal wall that is known as the deep inguinal ring. The testes traveled through this ring and then through the superficial inguinal ring in development and that is how the testes receive vessels and innervation. Furthermore, the vas deferens enters the abdomen through this ring in order to connect with the seminal vesicle to form an ejaculatory duct.

This "defect" in the anterior abdominal wall is one of two ways (Direct and Indirect) to herniate abdominal viscera. By increasing intra-abdominal pressure by valsalva maneuver (think... straining on the toilet), there is pressure on the viscera pushing outwards. The deep inguinal ring is one of the weakest spots, so the excess pressure can push a loop of bowel through the inguinal canal and into the scrotum. This is known as an indirect inguinal hernia.
