We often see articles about pelvic pain in women, but men often experience it too. If you experience pelvic pain\u2014loosely described as pain between the groin and navel\u2014there are quite a few possible causes. Here are some of the more common reasons you may be experiencing issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. \n

    Hernia<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Are you experiencing sudden pain in your lower abdomen after lifting something heavy or exercising? Hernias occur when either your intestine or a piece of tissue forces its way through the muscle. Sometimes you can actually feel the bulge. Hernias are more common in older men because our muscles weaken as we age.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Prostatitis<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      There are a number of reasons you may experience inflammation of the prostate with pain, including acute bacterial prostatitis (i.e., occurring once or a couple times), chronic bacterial prostatitis (a recurring infection) and nonbacterial prostatitis (which won\u2019t respond to antibiotics).<\/span><\/p>\n

        Irritable bowel syndrome<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Commonly known as \u201cIBS,\u201d this syndrome can cause bloating, diarrhea, constipation, painful cramps and mucus in the stool. You may notice that you temporarily feel better after a bowel movement.<\/span><\/p>\n

        1. \n

          Urinary stones<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          When salt or minerals (e.g., calcium) build up in your urine, they may clump together and crystallize. If they\u2019re too big to pass easily, you may experience pelvic or back pain, blood in your urine or difficulty urinating.<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n

            Cystitis<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
