What causes lower abdominal pain in men?

Stomach pain is what we usually call stomach pain. This is a minor ailment that everyone will experience, but many people don’t know the cause, and don’t know whether it needs treatment. In fact, there are many reasons for stomach pain. Some people may have abdominal pain caused by gastrointestinal inflammation, or it may be caused by eating bad food. The following is a specific classification explanation.

Abdominal pain caused by gastroenteritis: If you have a bad stomach, such as food poisoning, you will start to have abdominal cramps a few hours after a meal, followed by nausea and vomiting. This is called "gastroenteritis" diarrhea.

Some people have abdominal pain followed by diarrhea, which is called "enterocolitis". The former is mainly caused by inflammation of the stomach and the latter is mainly caused by inflammation of the large intestine. It is mainly caused by toxins produced by rotten food or bacteria, which stimulate the inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Except for a few who need to go to the hospital for intravenous drip, they usually recover within a few days.

Gallstones: Gallstones fall out and get stuck in the gallbladder duct, causing the gallbladder to contract and produce severe abdominal pain. The pain point is usually in the upper abdomen, which is often mistaken for stomach pain. The pain usually lasts half an hour to an hour after a meal. Gallstones are often complicated by cholecystitis, and the paroxysmal pain will become continuous pain. The pain point is in the right upper abdomen and is often accompanied by obvious tenderness.

Pancreatic inflammation or pancreatic cancer: Pancreatitis is common in patients with gallstones, and patients with high triglycerides have thick blood, which makes it difficult for the digestive juices secreted by the pancreas to flow into the small intestine, causing pancreatic juice reflux, which can also lead to pancreatitis. The abdominal pain caused by pancreatitis usually gradually worsens and can be easily mistaken for stomach pain.

Pancreatic cancer can also cause symptoms similar to stomach pain, especially cancers that grow in the body or tail of the pancreas, which often cause stomach or even back pain. Many people think they are bone spurs, and only realize that something is wrong when the condition worsens.

If the stomach pain becomes severe and unbearable, do not take medicine blindly. You must go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible. This is the only way to avoid appendicitis or other diseases. Also, do not eat too much or without restraint, otherwise you are likely to have stomach pain.
