Abdominal Cramping - Pelvic Pain in Males

Diagnosis & Tests

How is the condition diagnosed?

Diagnosis of pelvic pain begins with a history and physical exam. Tests that may be done include:

  • a urinalysis and urine culture to rule out an infection or kidney stone
  • a complete blood count, or CBC, to help diagnose an infection
  • x-ray imaging, such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI scan
