Introduction
General weakness, abdominal discomfort, and cold intolerance may be caused by physiological factors or pathological factors, such as chronic gastritis or acute gastroenteritis. If occurring during the menstrual period, shedding of the endometrium and hormonal imbalances in estrogen levels may lead to decreased immunity, resulting in symptoms including general weakness, abdominal discomfort, and cold intolerance—these are considered normal physiological phenomena.

Generalized weakness, abdominal discomfort, and cold intolerance may be caused by physiological factors or pathological conditions such as chronic gastritis or acute gastroenteritis. The specific analysis is as follows:

I. Physiological Factors

During menstruation, the shedding of the endometrium and hormonal imbalances in estrogen levels may lead to decreased immunity, resulting in symptoms such as generalized weakness, abdominal discomfort, and cold intolerance. These are considered normal physiological phenomena.

II. Pathological Factors

1. Chronic Gastritis

Helicobacter pylori infection is a primary cause of chronic gastritis. Inflammation of the gastrointestinal mucosa due to inflammatory mediators may slow gastrointestinal motility. If the inflammation spreads, the aforementioned symptoms may occur. Medications such as omeprazole enteric-coated capsules and amoxicillin capsules may be used under medical guidance.

2. Acute Gastroenteritis

Viral infections, bacterial infections, or parasitic infestations can all lead to acute gastroenteritis. When the gastrointestinal tract is invaded by pathogens, the disease manifests with disturbances such as acid-base imbalance and electrolyte disorders, leading to these symptoms. Medications such as loperamide hydrochloride capsules and azithromycin dry mixtures may be used under medical supervision.

In addition, generalized weakness, abdominal discomfort, and cold intolerance could also be signs of gastric cancer, duodenal cancer, or colorectal cancer. It is recommended that patients maintain a light diet during treatment.
