Introduction
In general, if lower abdominal bloating occurs after prolonged walking, it may be caused by factors such as irregular diet, constipation, or gastritis. Patients can receive symptomatic treatment based on the specific cause. Besides these three reasons, other conditions such as enteritis, hepatitis, or uterine fibroids may also be responsible. It is recommended that patients seek timely medical attention to avoid delayed diagnosis and treatment, which could lead to unpredictable consequences.

Generally, excessive walking followed by a feeling of heaviness or bloating in the lower abdomen may be caused by factors such as irregular diet, constipation, or gastritis. Patients can receive symptomatic treatment based on the specific cause. The details are as follows:

1. Irregular Diet

An irregular diet may impair the gastrointestinal tract's ability to properly digest and absorb nutrients, leading to excessive gas accumulation in the intestines and resulting in bloating. It is recommended to maintain regular eating habits.

2. Constipation

Constipation may cause a large amount of feces to accumulate in the intestines, leading to intestinal distension and bloating. It is recommended that patients use medications such as Clostridium butyricum powder or Bifidobacterium capsules under medical guidance, and increase water intake.

3. Gastritis

Gastritis may result from infection with pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria or viruses, which can increase gastric acid secretion and lead to symptoms such as bloating and abdominal pain. It is recommended that patients use medications such as compound rennet enzyme capsules or bismuth potassium citrate tablets under medical supervision, and pay attention to dietary hygiene.

Besides the above three causes, other conditions such as enteritis, hepatitis, or uterine fibroids may also be responsible. Patients are advised to seek timely medical evaluation and treatment to avoid delayed diagnosis and unpredictable complications.
