Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
There are many possible causes of left lower abdominal pain in males, mainly including:
1. Digestive system diseases: such as intestinal diseases including colitis, colon polyps, colon tumors, and inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's disease, which may be accompanied by abnormal bowel movements, diarrhea, or blood in the stool.
2. Urinary system diseases: such as urinary tract stones including kidney stones and ureteral stones, as well as inflammatory conditions like urinary tract infections and prostatitis, which often present with symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination.
3. Reproductive system diseases: such as chronic prostatitis and epididymitis, which may cause dull pain in the left lower abdomen, with pain possibly radiating to the perineal area.
If discomfort or symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
