Patient's question:
A cold triggered gastroenteritis. Previously, I had joint pain and weakness all over my body. Taking cold medicine provided relief, but I still experienced abdominal bloating with intermittent sharp pain, lower abdominal distension, and slight pain when pressing the left lower abdomen near the navel. I also have diarrhea with thick, sticky stools. I am currently being treated for trichomoniasis, and today I noticed slightly yellow discharge.I want to ask if gastroenteritis can cause lower abdominal pain.
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: However, it can be said for sure that gastroenteritis can cause lower abdominal pain. Your issue is actually the manifestation of what is commonly referred to as external wind-cold invasion and internal injury to the stomach and intestines. This situation is not related to your treatment for trichomoniasis.Suggestions: It is recommended that you try taking Chinese patent medicine such as He Xiang Zheng Qi Liquid or Capsules. Of course, it is best to consult a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) doctor in person, as TCM places great emphasis on individual differences, timing, location, and the combination of clinical symptoms, tongue, and pulse conditions for syndrome differentiation and treatment.
