Introduction
Lower abdominal pain that occurs while walking but not when sitting may be caused by physiological factors or pathological factors, such as duodenal ulcer or cystitis. The specific analysis is as follows: If an individual has poor dietary habits in daily life and fails to keep the body adequately warm, it may lead to cooling of the lower abdomen, resulting in pain during walking but not when sitting.

Lower abdominal pain that occurs while walking but not when sitting may be caused by physiological factors or pathological conditions such as duodenal ulcer or cystitis. The details are as follows:

I. Physiological Factors

Poor dietary habits and inadequate body warmth in daily life may lead to cold exposure in the lower abdomen, resulting in pain during walking but not when sitting. This is considered a normal physiological phenomenon and can be relieved by wearing warmer clothing and adjusting the diet.

II. Pathological Factors

1. Duodenal Ulcer

Infection with Helicobacter pylori is the main cause of duodenal ulcers. Under bacterial invasion, the duodenal mucosa becomes damaged, often accompanied by symptoms such as abnormal bleeding and pain. During walking, traction on the duodenum may trigger such pain. Treatment may include medications like rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets or omeprazole enteric-coated capsules, taken as directed by a physician.

2. Cystitis

Cystitis can be caused by infections such as Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus. Inflammatory factors stimulate the bladder, causing mucosal congestion and leading to this symptom. Medications such as cefixime capsules or levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules may be used under medical guidance.

In addition, lower abdominal pain during walking but not when sitting could also result from urethritis, glomerulonephritis, or urinary tract stones. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention when such discomfort occurs.
