Hello,
With the question “What is the pain in the lower right abdomen in men? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Pain in the lower right abdomen in men can be a symptom of constipation, appendicitis, inguinal hernia, ureteral stones, pelvic pain. To diagnose the exact cause of the dull abdominal pain, you may need blood tests to assess for infection, abdominal ultrasound to rule out appendicitis and ureteral stones, colonoscopy to determine the cause of the pain.
You need to go to the hospital immediately if the persistent pain does not improve, the abdominal pain increases, severe pain, bloating, fever, vomiting. To avoid constipation you need to keep a diet rich in fiber, lots of vegetables and fruits, drink enough 2.5l of water a day, exercise regularly.
