What is the reason for lower abdominal pain? Could it be prostatitis?

Many people don't care much about lower abdominal pain, thinking that it will be fine after a while, and they just take some medicine to solve the problem. In fact, men's lower abdominal pain may be caused by prostatitis or urethritis, so it must be taken seriously.

Causes of lower abdominal pain

1. Prostatitis:

Radiating pain: The pain of prostatitis is not limited to the urethra and perineum, but also radiates to the vicinity, with lower back pain being the most common. In addition, the penis, spermatic cord, testicles, scrotum, lower abdomen, groin area (thigh root), thigh, rectum, etc. can all be affected. It should be pointed out that the low back pain caused by chronic prostatitis is in the lower back, which is easy to be confused with low back pain caused by orthopedics such as myofasciitis and lumbar muscle strain, but the latter is mostly near the beltline, which is higher than the low back pain caused by prostatitis and can be distinguished.

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 urinary pain, burning, lower abdominal pain, etc.

What other symptoms does prostatitis have besides lower abdominal pain?

1. Pain symptoms: Pain occurs in the perineum, inner thighs, testicles, penis, around the anus, lumbar sacral area, and even the entire lower limbs, with varying degrees of swelling, pain and discomfort.

2. Sexual dysfunction: Chronic prostatitis can cause loss of libido and painful ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and affect the quality of semen. White discharge from the urethra may occur after urination or defecation, and hematospermia may occur when combined with seminal vesiculitis.

3. Urinary discomfort: Bladder irritation symptoms may occur, such as frequent urination, burning and pain in the urethra during urination, and radiating to the glans penis. In the early morning, there may be mucus and other secretions in the urethra, and there may also be a feeling of difficulty in urination.

4. Systemic symptoms: Neurasthenia, manifested by fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, etc.; long-term prostatitis can even cause allergic reactions in the body, resulting in conjunctivitis, arthritis and other lesions.
