Thanks for your query. This is a good question-What causes abdominal pain that reduced on doing sexual activity. You are young 23 years old, the pain in the lower abdomen can be due to congestion of the Prostate, called prostatitis or prostates. In this condition the prostate can go into swelling due to accumulation of secretions which are expelled by night-fall or masturbation or sexual ejaculation. That is why when you are engaged in sexual activity and the secretions or ejaculated the congestion in the prostate is reduced by almost 2 ll that is sufficient to reduce the pain. But this does not occur in normal conditions. This means there is an added problem of prostatitis, for which I would advise you the following:First get a digital (finger) examination by a General Surgeon. Ultrasonography of the abdomen particularly for prostate and seminal vesicles. Get 3-week course of antibiotics. Regular emptying of the prostate by masturbation or sex. </s>
