What causes men's lower abdominal pain?

Is it okay to just endure the pain in the lower abdomen of men? Experts remind that the pain in the lower abdomen of men is not just a simple pain. If men often have lower abdominal pain, they should be alert that they may be suffering from certain diseases, such as prostatitis and urinary tract infection. So, let's take a closer look at what causes lower abdominal pain in men and what are the symptoms of discomfort?

Lower abdominal pain can be caused by many reasons, and the treatment for lower abdominal pain caused by different diseases is also different. Therefore, male friends should be cautious and not seek medical treatment casually.

Causes of lower abdominal pain: Prostatitis, urinary tract infection and other male diseases can cause lower abdominal pain. Prostatitis refers to acute and chronic inflammation caused by specific and non-specific infection of the prostate, which causes systemic or local symptoms. The structure of the prostate tissue has various symptoms, and the severity varies greatly. Some may have no symptoms, while others may cause general discomfort.

Prostatitis is the disease with the highest incidence rate in adult men. Many people who have suffered from prostate diseases know that conventional clinical treatment is difficult to be effective. The disease is difficult to cure over time, and complications increase, such as impotence, premature ejaculation, male infertility, etc. Moreover, prostatitis is the root cause of many prostate diseases. Chronic prostatitis and stubborn prostatitis become the causative factors or inducements of prostate hyperplasia, prostate disease changes, prostate stones and cysts. But in the final analysis, all the bad consequences are caused by the failure to effectively cure prostatitis in a timely manner. However, some patients develop chronic pyelonephritis.

The common symptoms of prostatitis are roughly as follows.

1. Sexual dysfunction: Chronic prostatitis can cause loss of libido and ejaculation pain, 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.

2. Other symptoms: Chronic prostatitis may be accompanied by neurasthenia, manifested by fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, etc. Long-term prostatitis may even cause allergic reactions in the body, such as conjunctivitis, arthritis, etc. Urinary discomfort: Bladder irritation may occur, such as frequent urination, burning and pain in the urethra during urination, and radiation to the glans penis. In the early morning, there may be mucus and other secretions in the urethra, and there may also be a feeling of difficulty in urination.

3. 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.

4. 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, groin area (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.

Urinary tract infection is another important factor causing lower abdominal pain in men. Most patients with urinary tract infection have no fever or only a low fever. When checking urine, a large number of white blood cells related to inflammation can be seen under a microscope. If the treatment is timely and antibacterial drugs are taken regularly, the disease will be completely cured, except for discomfort in the acute phase. However, if the treatment is not timely, regular, the drug is stopped early, or the patient has poor disease resistance, the bacteria can ascend along the ureter to the renal pelvis and multiply there, causing inflammation of the renal pelvis (medically known as pyelonephritis). In severe cases, it can cause renal pelvic effusion and abscess. When the toxins produced by the bacteria enter the blood, the patient will experience high fever, chills, shivering, back pain, and bloating. If treated in time (under the guidance of a doctor), the disease can be cured.

In conclusion, men should not take lower abdominal pain lightly, but should be alert to possible signs of diseases such as prostatitis or urinary tract infection. Therefore, when men often experience lower abdominal pain, they should not just bear it or take medicine at random. Going to the hospital to check the cause and then taking the right medicine is the best way to solve the problem.
