Can Prostatitis Cause Abdominal Distention?

Of all the male diseases, the incidence of prostatitis is stunning. According to relevant data, about 50% of adult males will suffer from prostatitis once in their lifetime. Abdominal distension is one of the common symptoms.

For patients who have occasional male abdominal distension with short duration, initially, it will be thought to be caused constipation, dyspepsia, gastrointestinal irritation, and other symptoms. For those with repeated male abdominal distension, which lasts for several days or months, appendicitis, prostate calcification, prostatitis, and other diseases may be considered.

Symptoms of chronic prostatitis vary in severity and are asymptomatic in mild cases, but most patients will have pain or discomfort in the perineum or rectum, and abdominal distention. And the pain can be radiated to the lumbosacral or pubic, testicular, inguinal and other places, and there will be urination discomfort, burning sense of urination, milky white secretion around the urethral orifice, radiation pain and other symptoms, and even sexual dysfunction.

When inflammation occurs in the prostate, some tissues in the gland have become stiff and sclerotic, or some of them have developed calcification and compressed the nerve. Stimulation symptoms will occur in the nerve reflex area of the prostate. The common symptoms are low back pain, perineal pain, lower abdominal distention, etc. In fact, although prostatitis can cause male abdominal distension, not all of the cases of male abdominal distension are caused by prostatitis.

In order to find out the causes, male patients should go to the hospital for a detailed physical examination such as urinary and digestive system B ultrasound, urine routine, prostatic fluid test, blood routine, colonoscopy, stool routine, etc. in order to make a clear diagnosis as soon as possible and receive the corresponding treatment to avoid aggravated condition. Only by defining the cause of the disease can symptomatic treatment be achieved.

After examination, if abdominal pain is confirmed to be caused by prostatitis, it should be actively treated. Because prostatitis often causes sexual dysfunction, such as loss of libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, excessive ejaculation, hemospermia, ejaculation pain, etc. And the prostate fluid secretion decreases, resulting in a reduction in semen volume and increased viscosity, affecting the survival and vitality of sperm and infertility may occur. 

In order to avoid misdiagnosis and mistreatment of the body damage, or cause aggravation of the disease. Patients can consider taking Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill. Its efficacy can reach the lesion directly without drug resistance and other problems, and it can effectively sterilize and eliminate inflammation without recurrence.
