What causes right lower abdominal pain in men?

Many people have experienced right lower abdominal pain. There are many reasons that may cause right lower abdominal pain, and men should also pay attention to right lower abdominal pain. When right lower abdominal pain occurs, you must check whether it is caused by intestinal spasm, and prostatitis cannot be ruled out.

1. It may be caused by intestinal spasm. Intestinal spasm is caused by strong contraction of intestinal smooth muscle and is paroxysmal or intermittent abdominal pain. The characteristics of intestinal spasm are sudden onset of abdominal pain, especially around the umbilicus, and no abnormal signs during the intervals of onset. The cause of intestinal spasm is still unknown. Parasympathetic nerve excitement causes transient intestinal spasm, temporarily blocking the passage of intestinal contents, causing strong peristalsis of the proximal intestine and causing colic. Of course, stones can also cause colic. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for examination in time for symptomatic treatment.

2. Lower abdominal distension and pain caused by varicocele

Varicose veins are more likely to occur in young men. Varicose veins are usually caused by certain factors that block the normal blood flow in the male body, resulting in blood congestion, and then the spermatic veins in the spermatic cord become tortuous, elongated and dilated. At this time, earthworm-like masses will appear in the scrotum, forming varicocele. Generally, the lower abdominal distension and pain caused by varicocele is particularly severe when sitting, and it affects the genitals, causing hidden pain in the testicles.

3. Lower abdominal distension and pain caused by prostatitis

In many cases, men's lower abdominal pain is caused by prostatitis. The prostate is located in the lower abdomen. Common symptoms of prostatitis include lower abdominal pain, frequent urination, frequent urination at night, bifurcated urine during urination, and incomplete urination.
