What Causes Groin Pain, Abdominal Discomfort And Flatulence?

Posted on Tue, 28 Jun 2016

Question: Hello Dr XXXXXXX my symptoms this week got better (less pain in groin), i get morning erections even though they are weak and not like before all of this started. I note that after not masturbating 2 days pain start to increase and i feel relief of symptom after ejaculation. Last night I went out to eat with my friends and i had a lot to eat, as the night was advancing i started feeling a discomfort in my lower stomach again along with a bit of flatulence. However this morning around 9 am, I still have a morning erection but I have a big discomfort in groin (bladder i think) like 5x worse than when it started the night before (around 10-11 pm). Also, more than half of the discomfort was gone after i urinated. I do not know what to do really and its getting hard to have a normal social and sexual life with these troubles... I scheduled for a gastroenterologist i didnt get any news from the clinic for the urine test with prostate fluid that i did last week so im guessing its negative.. I did not do the semen culture yet. I am confused as for what I need to do because my symptoms change from a day to the other (better and worse). I would like to get a diagnosis but my urologist does not seem to know how to cure me or find a diagnosis he only gives me pills. For my prostate i have learned that doing a massage helps for prostatitis i did it this week and now my prostate doesnt hurt when i touch it, my morning erection came back so this is good news. However, the stomach discomfort i feel this morning along with gas and the discomfort after not ejaculating for 2-3 days need to go along with it!

Thank you so much for the help

Brief Answer:
Your symptoms are not related to prostate issue .

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query , based on the facts that you have posted, it appears that you have discomfort in lower abdomen after late night enjoyment in party..

The discomfort and flatulence in abdomen could be mostly due to indigestion and definitely not due to prostate issue .

1) Take antacids and anti flatulent drugs for a day or two
2) Avoid heavy meals
3) Take soft diet with buttermilk and curd .
4) Take small frequent meals

This will help to get relief from discomfort and pain in lower abdomen .

You may continue with prostate massage as advised earlier . This will help to resolve your prostate issue ,

Hope I have answered your query , please feel free to ask if you have more questions , I shall be happy to help you .

Thanks and Regards.
