What causes left lower abdominal pain after running?
Left lower abdominal pain after running may be caused by physiological factors or pathological conditions such as chronic enteritis or intestinal spasms.
I. Physiological Factors
If one does not exercise regularly and runs a relatively long distance, it may lead to lactic acid buildup in the body, causing pain. This is a normal physiological response and usually does not require treatment—symptoms improve with appropriate rest.
II. Pathological Factors
1. Intestinal Spasms
Intestinal spasms may occur when the abdomen is exposed to cold due to inadequate protection in cold environments. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as lactasin, multienzyme tablets, and vitamin B6 tablets can be used to relieve spasm symptoms.
2. Chronic Enteritis
Chronic enteritis caused by unhygienic diet leading to viral or bacterial infection may also result in pain due to inflammatory irritation. It is recommended to follow medical advice and use medications such as montmorillonite powder, atropine sulfate tablets, or racemic hyoscine butylbromide tablets to alleviate symptoms.
In addition, conditions such as urinary tract stones may also cause similar symptoms. Timely medical attention is necessary to prevent worsening of the condition.
