Pain on the left side of the male belly button

Men may experience pain in this area due to inflammation of the prostate or stones in the urogenital system. Generally speaking, gastrointestinal problems can also cause pain in this area, so further examination is needed, including routine urine examination, semen analysis, and ultrasound of the urogenital system, including the kidneys, urethra, bladder, and prostate. If necessary, after eliminating urogenital system symptoms, a colonoscopy should be performed for further diagnosis. Different disease treatment plans are completely different.

I believe that such conversations happen quite often in our hospital's outpatient clinics. In many cases, our doctors have to talk to patients for a long time before they can figure out where the pain is!

Of course, this cannot be blamed on everyone, because our parents have told us since we were young that abdominal pain above the thigh root is called stomachache. Before I studied medicine, I was actually the same as everyone else. In short, all the pain in the belly button is called stomachache.

In fact, if the pain in the middle left side of the human body can be strictly classified from a medical point of view, it belongs to the navel area and the left side of the abdomen. The internal organs involved here are mainly the colon and descending colon. Therefore, when pain occurs in this area, many people will immediately judge whether it is a gastrointestinal problem of the human body, such as: acute enteritis, intestinal obstruction or the disease of the descending colon itself!

However, from an anatomical point of view, the general location of pain is often the location where the disease occurs. The reasons for the pain in the middle of the left side of the abdomen of male friends may be as follows:

1. Gastric and duodenal ulcers, acute and chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer can cause certain pain, but the pain is mostly in the left upper abdomen.

2. The jejunum and transverse colon are blocked and twisted, tumors grow in the jejunum and transverse colon, and there are sparganosis in the jejunum, which can cause certain pain.

3. Tumors and omentitis of the greater omentum may also cause some pain.

4. Left kidney stones, left kidney tumor, left kidney cyst, left kidney infection and stones in the upper part of the left urethra.

5. Ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome may also cause pain in the left side of the abdomen.

6. Abdominal aortic disease, the most common of which is actually abdominal aortic aneurysm.
