What is the reason for pain on the left side of a man's lower abdomen?

If you feel stomach pain, it is usually caused by eating something wrong and causing diarrhea. The pain will disappear after the bowel movement, and it is generally not a big problem. However, some men always feel persistent stomach pain, and it is not diarrhea. This pain has a great impact on work and life. So, what is the reason for men's left stomach pain?

What causes a man to have left side abdominal pain?

1. Prostate pain

Medical research has found that men with chronic prostatitis also experience pain on the left side of their abdomen. However, the diagnosis and treatment of chronic prostatitis are very difficult. No bacteria can be found in the patient's urine, and no pus cells or white blood cells can be seen under a microscope in the prostatic fluid. Although the diagnosis is difficult, the symptoms of prostatitis are very obvious, and common symptoms include frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty urinating, especially pain in the perineum and scrotum. Some people even feel pain when sitting down.

Experts say that in addition to prostatitis which can cause pain on the left side of the abdomen, there are also some diseases that can cause left abdominal pain in men, such as urethral muscles, prostate muscles, or spasmodic pain in the perineum and pelvic floor muscles. These symptoms are very similar to those of prostatitis, so men should pay attention when pain occurs, and must find the cause and then treat it.

2. Pain on the left side of the lower abdomen after sex

Experts point out that some men experience pain on the left side of their abdomen, mostly after sexual intercourse. Pain on the left side of the abdomen at this time is mostly caused by urogenital inflammation. For example, chronic prostatitis, epididymitis, orchitis, etc. In addition, varicocele can also cause pain on the left side of the abdomen. At this time, you should pay attention to going to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible, so as to prevent the disease from worsening. At the same time, you should also pay attention to developing a good living habit.

3. Urinary stones

Why do men often have left side abdominal pain? Experts say that the reason why men often have left side abdominal pain is closely related to the urinary system. In addition to typical waist and abdominal cramps and nausea and vomiting, most patients with urinary stones may also have symptoms such as difficulty urinating and urinary pain. Moreover, the pain is usually located in the waist and reflects to the ipsilateral inguinal groove or perineum. This pain is fundamentally different from acute appendicitis, because the former can also manifest as persistent pain in the left lower right abdomen, accompanied by local tenderness and rebound pain. However, patients with acute appendicitis often have fever and chills in addition to bloating and pain in the waist and abdomen. There may be tenderness in the hypochondrium and lower abdomen, and the tenderness is deeper and there is less rebound pain. They usually have urinary tract irritation, and regular urine often contains abscesses.

In addition to the above reasons, it is possible that a man's left abdominal pain is an acute pain that occurs suddenly. At this time, you need to go to the hospital for examination. When this kind of pain occurs, it is often accompanied by some nausea or vomiting symptoms. It may be that there is a problem with the internal organs and timely treatment is required. As long as the condition is relieved, the pain will gradually disappear.
