Pain just below the navel in men

Speaking of the umbilical cord, we all know that it is a channel for babies to obtain nutrition from the mother. After the baby is born, the umbilical cord will be cut by the doctor, and then the wound will slowly heal and finally form a belly button. Many times we will ignore this part, and we don’t care about some minor pains at ordinary times, but the manifestations of many diseases are not obvious, so what is the reason for the pain just below the belly button of men?

What causes pain just below the male navel?

1. Prostatitis: This is the most common disease that causes lower abdominal pain in men. It often occurs in young men. When the disease occurs, symptoms such as lower abdominal distension and pain, frequent urination at night, frequent urination, urgent urination, and painful urination are common.

2. Urethritis and ureteral stones: If a man has lower abdominal pain accompanied by lumbar paraspinal pain or lower back pain, paroxysmal colic and submicroscopic hematuria, and ureteral caliber pain.

3. Acute appendicitis: commonly known as appendicitis, men of any age may develop this disease, but it is more common between the ages of 20 and 40.

At this time, the pain may even be aggravated by coughing or moving the body.

4. Acute cholecystitis: This type of pain often occurs after meals, and the pain is usually in the right upper abdomen or upper abdomen. Sometimes the pain will spread to the right shoulder or shoulder blade, and is accompanied by fever, vomiting, jaundice and other phenomena.

Types of pain in men

1. Right lower abdominal pain

The first thing to think about is whether you have appendicitis. If you have upper abdominal pain at first, and then it turns to right lower abdominal pain after a few hours, accompanied by nausea and vomiting, it is usually acute appendicitis. In addition, you should also consider problems with the small intestine, cecum, and right ureter. If you have frequent urination and hematuria, it is likely to be ureteral stones.

2. Right upper abdominal pain

The liver and gallbladder problems should be considered as acute and chronic hepatitis, liver cancer, cholecystitis, gallstones, etc. may cause right upper abdominal pain. In addition, attention should be paid to whether there are problems with the pancreas, duodenum, right kidney, right large intestine, etc.

3. Left upper abdominal pain

First of all, we should consider the spleen and stomach problems, and also pay attention to the pancreas, left kidney, and left part of the large intestine. If the pain in the left upper abdomen persists, is accompanied by paroxysmal aggravation, affects both sides of the waist, and is aggravated by eating, it is likely to be acute pancreatitis.

Finally, I would like to remind all male friends here again that pain just below the navel should not be taken lightly. If it lasts for a long time, you must go to the hospital for treatment immediately. Many diseases are not scary. What is scary is that they are discovered too late, so everyone should pay attention to it in the early stage.
