Dr. Shen Yonghua
Below are some common causes that may lead to lower abdominal distension and pain in males:
1. Urinary system issues: Conditions such as acute urinary tract infections, cystitis, bladder stones, ureteral stones, and bladder tumors may cause this symptom, often accompanied by frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination.
2. Reproductive system diseases: Testicular torsion, epididymitis, and varicocele of the spermatic cord. These conditions are usually accompanied by local swelling and pain. Severe cases require urgent treatment—for example, timely surgical intervention is necessary for testicular torsion to prevent testicular necrosis.
3. Digestive system diseases: Such as enteritis, appendicitis, and intestinal obstruction. Appendicitis is a common cause of acute abdominal pain, typically presenting as pain in the lower right abdomen, often accompanied by fever, nausea, and vomiting.
4. Bowel dysfunction: Including irritable bowel syndrome, characterized by recurrent abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea, which may be related to diet and psychological stress.
5. Diseases of other systems: Conditions such as hernias and peritonitis may also cause lower abdominal pain.
If symptoms of lower abdominal distension and pain occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
