Can a cold cause lower abdominal pain?

Colds can sometimes cause pain in the lower abdomen, such as gastrointestinal colds, where patients experience pain in the lower abdomen along with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, but it is important to distinguish if the abdominal pain is due to other causes. Common symptoms of colds are cough, sore throat, fever, malaise, headache, joint pains, etc. Diseases that can cause lower abdominal pain include gynecological diseases, urinary tract stones, appendicitis, etc. If a patient has symptoms of cold and lower abdominal pain, we recommend that he or she actively seek medical attention and complete relevant tests to clarify the diagnosis. If the patient is caused by a simple cold, we need to carry out antiviral and antibacterial related treatment. If the lower abdominal pain is caused by other diseases, we need to provide symptomatic treatment, such as surgery for acute appendicitis and lithotripsy for urinary stones.
