Regarding the causes of lower abdominal pain on the left side of men, experts point out that prostatitis is one of them. Since the prostate of men is a common disease, prostatitis is common. If men have lower abdominal distension and pain accompanied by other symptoms, if the lower abdominal pain is accompanied by changes in bowel habits, it may be caused by changes in the large intestine.

Its incidence rate accounts for 10% to 15% of the population with left lower abdominal pain in men. Most cases occur on the left side. The pain radiates to the left perineum and may be accompanied by testicular dull pain. It is a common disease in young men. The veins in the spermatic cord are blocked due to some reason, causing blood stasis, causing the varicocele veins in the spermatic cord to be tortuous, elongated and dilated, forming an earthworm-like mass in the scrotum. This is varicocele. When varicocele occurs, the scrotum is enlarged, with a heavy and bloated feeling. It worsens when standing, walking, and working, and is relieved after lying down and resting.

4. Acute pancreatitis

Acute pancreatitis can also cause pain in the left lower abdomen in men. Common symptoms include severe and persistent upper or left upper abdominal pain, sometimes extending to the back, nausea and vomiting, and fever. The pain will be slightly relieved when the body bends forward. In fact, these are only secondary causes of pain in the left lower abdomen in men, and the main cause is prostatitis.
