    Causes of dull pain in men’s left lower abdomen 1. Prostatitis

    Prostatitis can cause dull pain in the left lower abdomen in men. Prostatitis is the most common disease among adult men. Clinically, it is generally divided into acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis, with chronic prostatitis being the most common. One of the symptoms of acute prostatitis is dull pain in the left lower abdomen. In addition, systemic symptoms such as chills, fever, and fatigue may also occur. The pain of chronic prostatitis is not limited to the urethra and perineum, but also radiates to their vicinity, with lower back pain being the most common. In addition, the spermatic cord, testicles, scrotum, lower abdomen, inguinal area, thighs, rectum, etc. can be affected.

Epididymitis can also be divided into acute and chronic. Acute epididymitis is mostly secondary to infection of the urethra, prostate or seminal vesicles. Chronic epididymitis is often caused by incomplete treatment in the acute phase. Epididymitis can also cause dull pain in the left lower abdomen, which can seriously affect the patient's daily life and work, and is very harmful.
