In general, intermittent dull pain in the lower right abdomen in men may be caused by factors such as enteritis, cholecystitis, or kidney stones. Men can receive symptomatic treatment based on the specific cause. The details are as follows:
1. Enteritis
Enteritis refers to inflammation of the intestinal mucosa, with symptoms including diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, etc. When the inflammation involves the cecum or ileum, it may cause a vague pain in the right side of the abdomen. It is recommended that men take medications such as Kushen Capsules (Sophora flavescens capsules) or Minocycline Hydrochloride Capsules under medical guidance, and pay attention to dietary hygiene.
2. Cholecystitis
Cholecystitis refers to infection and inflammation of the gallbladder, with symptoms including pain in the upper right abdomen and nausea. It is recommended that men take medications such as Xiaoyan Lidan Tablets (anti-inflammatory and bile-promoting tablets) or Clindamycin Hydrochloride Tablets under medical guidance, and get adequate rest.
3. Kidney Stones
Kidney stones form when certain substances in the urine become overly concentrated and crystallize. Symptoms include flank pain, frequent urination, and urgency. It is recommended that men take medications such as Potassium Sodium Citrate Granules or Shenshitong Granules under medical guidance, and drink plenty of water.
Besides the three causes mentioned above, other conditions such as cholelithiasis, orchitis, or inguinal hernia could also be responsible. Therefore, it is advised that men seek timely medical evaluation and treatment.
