Causes of left lower abdominal pain in men include:
1. Digestive system disorders: such as colitis, inflammatory conditions of the rectum, and lesions of the sigmoid colon. In particular, when the affected area is located in the left side of the colon, local inflammatory stimulation may occur, leading to left lower abdominal pain.
2. Urinary system disorders: such as prostatitis and urethral stones. Prostatitis may cause pelvic pain, while urethral stones can move within the urethra, irritating the urethral mucosa and causing pain that may radiate to the left lower abdomen.
3. Reproductive system disorders: such as inflammatory conditions of the reproductive system like seminal vesiculitis, which may lead to pain in the left lower abdomen.
