What causes men's bloated abdomen?

Some people often feel that their abdomen is always full of gas, even if they don't eat anything. These symptoms are called abdominal distension. Abdominal distension may be a sign of many diseases. Male abdominal distension and female abdominal distension are two different causes of the same symptom. Let's learn what the possible causes of male abdominal distension are.

Symptoms of lower abdominal pain and frequent urination in men are mostly caused by prostatitis, which refers to acute or chronic inflammation caused by specific and non-specific infection of the prostate, resulting in systemic or local symptoms.

1. 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. There may be mucus and other secretions in the urethra in the early morning, and there may also be a feeling of difficulty in urination.

2. Local symptoms: Distension and discomfort in the posterior urethra, perineum and anus, which is aggravated by squatting, defecation and sitting on a chair for a long time.

3. Radiating pain: The pain of chronic 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 and scrotum, lower abdomen, inguinal region (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.

4. Sexual dysfunction: Chronic prostatitis can cause loss of libido, 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.

5. Other symptoms: Chronic prostatitis may be accompanied by neurasthenia, manifested by fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, etc. Long-term persistent prostatitis may even cause allergic reactions in the body, resulting in conjunctivitis, arthritis and other lesions.

These are all possible causes of male bloating. No matter which one it is, everyone needs to pay attention. If the disease is discovered in the early stages, the difficulty of treatment will be much reduced and the chance of recovery will be very high. This requires us to always pay attention to our own physical abnormalities and not take it lightly. The earlier the disease is treated, the better the effect.
