What can cause sporadic and excruciating upper and lower abdominal pain that causes frequent urinating in men?

My partner has been suffering from this sporadic and severely painful bouts of abdominal pain since he was young but as they were only every now and then and were unpredictable he just put up with them. But of late they have been getting worse and have been keeping him awake all night as well as rendering him basically immobile. They can be in the upper or lower abdomen and cause him to urinate more frequently. What can cause this type of pain? I have no idea what to do for him!

It is impossible to guess and too important to give the wrong information.
It could be anything from a serious kidney problem to constipation.
The frequency of micturition could indicate a bladder or kidney infection or could be caused by stress.
Please tell him he must make an appointment to see his doctor.
That is the best thing you can do other than give comfort and support during these episodes.
Notice if anything in particular precedes them, a certain food, stress for example

  5. this type of problems should not be set aside if not given the proper treatment it may lead to serious problem.so better check from a internist particularly to a urologist it maybe a urinary tract infection.constipation,or maybe a stone either from your kidney or gallstone.

  6. Maybe he has Interstitial Cystitis (IC) (Painful Bladder Syndrome). It is a condition that results in recurring discomfort or pain in the bladder and the surrounding pelvic region. Patients may experience discomfort, pressure, tenderness, or intense pain in the bladder & pelvic area. Symptoms may include an urgent need to urinate, a frequent need to urinate, or a combination of these symptoms.
