The patient's symptoms are considered to be caused by intestinal disorders, gastritis, or similar conditions. Under medical guidance, taking berberine, levofloxacin, and smectite can help suppress inflammation and protect the intestinal mucosa. For severe colicky pain, applying heat to the lower abdomen may improve blood circulation and alleviate discomfort. Routine stool examination and abdominal ultrasound are generally recommended to identify the underlying cause before initiating treatment. In women, common conditions include pelvic inflammatory disease and pelvic infections.
