The causes of stomach bloating and lower abdominal pain include:
1. Functional dyspepsia: Often caused by improper diet, poor mood, excessive fatigue, etc., characterized by impaired gastric motility and delayed gastrointestinal emptying, leading to stomach bloating and lower abdominal pain.
2. Organic gastrointestinal diseases: Such as acute gastroenteritis, peptic ulcer, liver disease, biliary tract disease, pancreatic disease, etc. These conditions may be triggered by unhygienic diet, bacterial infection, genetic factors, etc., resulting in damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa and symptoms such as stomach bloating and lower abdominal pain.
3. Emotional factors and stress: Prolonged mental tension or excessive stress may also cause gastrointestinal dysfunction, leading to manifestations such as stomach bloating and lower abdominal pain.
