Ejaculation pain is a pain in the penis, urethra, perineum, and lower abdomen when a man ejaculates. Pain in the lower abdomen after ejaculation is a type of ejaculatory pain, which is a symptom that many men may experience during sex. There are various reasons why the symptom can occur, so can prostatitis cause it?

Pain in the lower abdomen after ejaculation is most commonly associated with prostatitis, and patients who develop chronic prostatitis will experience painful ejaculation symptoms. As the semen contains pathogenic microorganisms, when the semen is ejaculated into the urethra, there will be urethral discomfort, and there will also be hidden pain or distension in the bladder area and lower abdomen. 

In addition, if the sex life is too frequent, leading to prostate congestion and edema state caused by the symptoms, then the prostate may be infected with inflammation, and inflammation repeated stimulation of the prostate tissue, then will be spread to the person's abdomen, thus causing lower abdominal pain. 

Finally, prostatitis may also be complicated by seminal vesiculitis, which causes lower abdominal pain.

It is worth noting that although prostatitis can cause painful ejaculation, this symptom is not the only criterion for determining prostatitis. That is to say, prostatitis, while causing pain in the lower abdomen after ejaculation, is often accompanied by other symptoms, such as urinary urgency, frequent and painful urination, increased urination at night, and other symptoms of urinary abnormalities, and even white discharge after urination or defecation. Therefore, patients may have to make a judgment based on multiple symptoms.

The best way to determine this is to go to the hospital and have a prostate fluid test done to find out the exact condition. If the test result shows more white blood cells and fewer lecithin bodies, the diagnosis of prostate inflammation can be confirmed in most cases.
