What is the cause of bloating on the left side of the male abdomen?

1. Pain in the left lower abdomen may be caused by sigmoid colitis or proctitis, characterized by pain in the left lower abdomen accompanied by changes in the frequency of bowel movements or stool characteristics. Chronic colitis is an autoimmune disease that may be related to infection with certain pathogens, genetic genes, and mental factors. Most cases have a long course of illness and are difficult to cure, especially ulcerative colitis, where the stool contains mucus and purulent blood, causing great pain to the patient.

2. The causes of left lower abdominal pain include left ureteritis and left ureteral stones. Left lower abdominal pain is often accompanied by left lumbar paraspinal pain, or left waist soreness, accompanied by paroxysmal colic and submicroscopic hematuria, and left ureteral caliber tenderness.

3. Pain in the left lower abdomen is more commonly caused by prostatitis. The characteristic of prostatitis is a feeling of heaviness and pressure in the perineum or suprapubic area, which worsens when sitting for a long time or defecating, and radiates to the waist, lower abdomen, back, thighs, etc.

4. Varicose vein varicocele is also a common cause of left lower abdominal pain. Varicose vein varicocele often occurs on the left side. The characteristics of male left lower abdominal pain are more obvious when sitting, and the pain radiates to the left perineum, which may be accompanied by testicular pain. When varicocele occurs, the scrotum is enlarged, with a heavy and bloated feeling. It is aggravated when standing, walking, and working, and relieved after lying down and resting.

Men's left lower abdominal pain is mostly caused by prostatitis. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination.

First, prostatitis test.

Patients with prostatitis can undergo prostatitis tests, which may reveal an increase in routine white blood cell counts, which may reach 2×109/L; pus cells or white blood cells in the urine; a large number of white blood cells or pus cells and fat-containing macrophages in the prostatic fluid; and bacteria may be detected in smear staining of urethral secretions and prostatic fluid.

Second, rectal examination.

Men with prostatitis can also undergo rectal examination, which shows that the prostate is full, enlarged, soft, and slightly tender. If the disease lasts for a long time, the prostate will become smaller, harder, uneven in texture, and have small nodules.

Third, B-ultrasound examination.

Ultrasound examination of prostatitis patients may show that the boundaries of the prostate tissue structure are unclear and disordered.

Fourth, prostate fluid examination.

Using prostatic fluid to examine prostatitis can reveal that the number of white blood cells in the prostatic fluid exceeds 10 in the high-power field of view of the microscope, and the number of lecithin bodies decreases.
