Persistent lower abdominal pain and bloating may be caused by colonic inflammation. The main symptoms include continuous pain in the lower left or lower right abdomen, accompanied by changes in bowel movements such as loose stools, constipation, or diarrhea. If pelvic fluid accumulation is present, treatment is required, commonly using medications such as Fukejing or Kangfu Xiaoyan Suppository, which are administered rectally. In women, if there is an elevated white blood cell count, increased frequency of bowel movements, and mucus in the stool, gastrointestinal diseases must be ruled out. It is recommended to visit a hospital for routine stool tests and colonoscopy.
