What is the cause of the right lower abdominal pain like a needle prick?

1. Normal phenomenon

Men may experience dull pain on the right side of their abdomen after strenuous exercise. This pain is not a disease but a normal phenomenon and will gradually recover after proper rest. So, don’t worry. At the same time, experts also remind male friends to exercise in moderation.

2. Appendicitis

The most common disease causing right lower abdominal pain in men is appendicitis.

①Acute appendicitis

Typical acute appendicitis initially presents with pain in the upper middle abdomen or around the umbilicus. After a few hours, the pain migrates and becomes fixed in the right lower abdomen. When the inflammation spreads to the serosa and parietal peritoneum, the pain is fixed in the right lower abdomen, and the original pain in the upper abdomen or around the umbilicus is relieved or disappears. Therefore, the absence of a typical history of migratory right lower quadrant pain does not exclude acute appendicitis.

Simple appendicitis often presents with paroxysmal or persistent distending pain and dull pain. Persistent severe pain often indicates purulent or gangrenous appendicitis. Continuous severe pain affecting the middle or lower abdomen or both sides of the lower abdomen is often a sign of gangrenous appendix perforation.

②Chronic appendicitis

Abdominal pain is pain in the lower right abdomen, which is characterized by intermittent dull pain or bloating, sometimes severe and sometimes mild, and the location is relatively fixed. Most patients experience abdominal pain after a full meal, exercise, fatigue, cold or long-term standing. Tenderness is the only physical sign, which is mainly located in the right lower abdomen. It is generally small in range, constant in position, and only occurs when heavy pressure is applied. There is no muscle tension or rebound tenderness, and generally no abdominal mass.

5. Acute cholecystitis
