Introduction
Pain in both the lower abdomen and stomach may be caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acute gastroenteritis, or other reasons. It could result from excessive mental stress or poor diet leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction. It might also be due to genetic factors, excessive psychological stress, or unhealthy eating habits causing irritable bowel syndrome. Additionally, acute gastroenteritis caused by infection with intestinal pathogens can also lead to such symptoms.

Lower abdominal pain usually refers to pain in the lower abdomen. Simultaneous pain in the lower abdomen and stomach may be caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acute gastroenteritis, or other conditions. Specific details are as follows:

1. Gastrointestinal Dysfunction

This condition may typically result from excessive mental stress, poor dietary habits, or similar factors, leading to abnormalities in the brain-gut axis and changes in the intestinal microenvironment. These changes can cause gastrointestinal dysfunction, resulting in symptoms such as abdominal and stomach pain. Under medical guidance, H2 receptor antagonists such as famotidine tablets, cimetidine tablets, and ranitidine capsules may be used to help improve the condition.

2. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

IBS may arise from the interaction of multiple factors such as genetic predisposition, excessive psychological stress, and poor diet, causing abnormal gastrointestinal motility and increased visceral sensitivity. To relieve pain, doctors may recommend antispasmodic medications such as meperidine hydrochloride tablets, anisodamine hydrochloride injection, and scopolamine hydrobromide injection.

3. Acute Gastroenteritis

Infection with enteric pathogens such as *Vibrio parahaemolyticus* or *Salmonella* can lead to acute inflammation of the gastrointestinal mucosa, resulting in acute gastroenteritis and causing pain that affects both the stomach and lower abdomen. Following a doctor's instructions, antibiotics such as amoxicillin capsules, cefixime capsules, and levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules may be prescribed to promote recovery.

Additionally, duodenal ulcers may also cause similar symptoms. Receiving proper medical treatment under a doctor's supervision can help alleviate the pain.
