Many men don't know what the pain in the left lower abdomen means, and most patients who experience pain will only seek treatment when the pain is unbearable, that is, take corresponding measures, otherwise they will just leave it alone. In fact, there are many reasons for men's left lower abdominal pain, and if it is not treated in time, it may cause serious diseases. Below, let's learn about the reasons for men's left lower abdominal pain.

Men always don't take occasional pain seriously, and often just grit their teeth and endure it. This shouldn't happen. If you have stomach pain in your daily life, especially pain on the left side, you must be alert, as these may be symptoms of common diseases in men.

Pain on the left side of the lower abdomen after sex

Some men experience pain on the left side of their abdomen, mostly after sex. Experts point out that pain on the left side of the abdomen at this time is mostly caused by urinary and reproductive system infections. 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.

Acute pain

Regarding the question of what causes pain on the left side of the abdomen, experts point out that acute abdominal pain is the most common condition and also one of the most dangerous conditions. Acute abdominal pain refers to sudden abdominal pain that the patient feels, which is often caused by diseases of the organs inside or outside the abdominal cavity. The former is called visceral pain on the left side of the abdomen. At the same time, many patients are likely to have a series of related symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and sweating. Pain on the left side of the abdomen is transmitted by visceral nerves, while the latter is transmitted by somatic nerves, so it is called somatic pain on the left side of the abdomen. This type of pain is mostly persistent pain.

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.

In addition to prostatitis which can cause pain on the left side of the abdomen, there are some other diseases that can also cause left abdominal pain in men, such as urethral muscles, prostate muscles, or muscle spasms in the perineum and pelvic floor. 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.

Urinary stones

The reason why men often experience pain on the left side of their abdomen is closely related to the urinary system. In addition to typical lumbar and abdominal colic and nausea and vomiting, most patients with urinary stones may have symptoms such as difficulty urinating and urinary pain. Moreover, the pain is usually reflected from the waist to the ipsilateral inguinal groove or perineum. This pain is fundamentally different from acute appendicitis, because the former can also show persistent pain on the left side of the lower right abdomen, accompanied by local tenderness and rebound pain; while 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, with less rebound pain. Usually, there are urinary tract irritation symptoms, and urine is often filled with abscesses.

The above is an introduction to the causes of lower abdominal pain on the left side of a man. It should be noted that men of childbearing age need to pay special attention to lower abdominal pain on the left side of a man. Because lower abdominal pain on the left side of a man may be due to an unhealthy reproductive system, and the health of the reproductive system is related to fertility. So in order to avoid infertility, please seek medical treatment in time.
