What are the causes of abdominal pain in men?

Lower abdominal pain does not only occur in women, but sometimes also in men, because varicocele, epididymitis, hernia, enteritis, these are all possible causes of lower abdominal pain. Men may also suffer from male diseases or physiological diseases, which lead to some adverse reactions. We need to find appropriate methods to prevent it.

Common causes and symptoms of abdominal pain in men:

1. Left varicocele: The incidence of varicocele is 10% to 15% of the male population, mostly on the left side. The pain is more obvious when sitting, and the pain radiates to the left perineum, which may be accompanied by testicular pain. It is a common disease in young men. The veins in the spermatic cord are blocked for some reason, causing blood stasis, causing the varicocele to be tortuous, elongated and dilated, forming a worm-like mass in the scrotum. When varicocele occurs, the scrotum is enlarged, with a heavy and bloated feeling, which worsens when standing, walking, and working, and is relieved after lying down and resting.

2. Left inguinal hernia: Left lower abdominal pain is accompanied by the appearance of a local mass, which is obvious when standing and disappears automatically when lying down. When the abdomen is held and exerted, a lump-like swelling appears in the groin area and disappears after calming down. This is a hernia. Because it is in the groin area, it is called an inguinal hernia. The so-called hernia is a weak place or residual channel, that is, abdominal contents, such as intestines, omentum, etc., protrude below the epidermis outside the abdominal cavity.

3. Sigmoid colitis/proctitis: left lower abdominal pain accompanied by changes in bowel movement frequency or stool characteristics. Chronic colitis is an autoimmune disease, which may be related to infection with certain pathogens, genetic genes and mental factors. Most of the diseases have a long course and are difficult to cure, especially ulcerative colitis. The stool contains mucus and pus and blood, and the patient is in great pain.

4. Left ureteritis/left ureteral calculus: Left lower abdominal pain is often accompanied by left lumbar paraspinal pain or left waist pain, accompanied by paroxysmal colic and submicroscopic hematuria, and left ureteral caliber tenderness.

5. Prostatitis: A feeling of heaviness and pressure in the perineum or suprapubic area, which worsens when sitting for a long time or defecating, and radiates to the waist, lower abdomen, back, thighs, etc.

6. Left colon cancer: pain in the left lower abdomen, stool becomes thinner and string-like, and stool characteristics change.

Note: There are many causes of acute abdominal pain, and the condition is complicated. If such a condition occurs at home, do not take painkillers or injections without a confirmed diagnosis. To avoid delaying the diagnosis, fast for any abdominal pain and observe the development of the condition. At the same time, psychological counseling should be done well, and do not be afraid.
