What causes a bloated belly?

A man's lower abdomen is swollen, which is often related to some men's diseases. For example, if a man has prostatitis, it is easy to cause abdominal distension and pain. In addition, urinary tract inflammation, such as cystitis, urethritis, etc., may also cause such a phenomenon. Of course, we must also be alert to some stone-related diseases. The symptoms of urinary tract stones will be more obvious. Let's take a look at this aspect.

What causes a bloated belly?

1. Prostatitis

Male lower abdominal distension is likely to be prostatitis, which is a complex pathological change of prostate inflammation, immunity, and neuroendocrine caused by a variety of complex causes and inducements, resulting in urethral irritation and chronic pelvic pain as the main clinical manifestations. The clinical manifestations of prostatitis are diverse, and pain and discomfort in the perineum, suprapubic area, groin area, and genitals may occur; urethral symptoms include burning sensation during urination, urgency, frequency, and pain during urination, which may be accompanied by hematuria at the end of urination or purulent urethral secretions; acute infection may be accompanied by systemic symptoms such as chills, fever, and fatigue.

2. Urethritis:

Gonorrhea, chlamydia, and mycoplasma that cause urethritis are among the pathogens that cause infertility. Chlamydia and mycoplasma cause urethritis with mild or even no symptoms, so many people mistakenly believe that if there are no symptoms, there is no STD, which delays the timing of examination and treatment. If mycoplasma infection is not treated for a long time, it will attach to the tail of male sperm, causing sperm motility to be significantly weakened, thus affecting conception. Accompanying symptoms include pain during urination, burning sensation, lower abdominal pain, etc.

3. Acute appendicitis

Lower abdominal distension and pain may be caused by acute appendicitis, which usually moves from the upper abdomen to the right lower abdomen. The pain may be aggravated by coughing or moving the body. It may also be acute pancreatitis, with common symptoms of severe and persistent upper or left upper abdominal pain (sometimes the pain extends to the back), nausea, vomiting, fever, etc. The pain will be slightly relieved when the body bends forward.
