What are the causes of pain in your belly button?
This is a hard question to consider, since a pain in the belly button area could mean a lot of things, especially depending on whether it’s a deep pain that might indicate something wrong with the digestive system or abdominal organs, or if it’s a surface pain that could point to some type of skin irritation.That said, like any other crevice in the body, the belly button is extra vulnerable to fungal or bacterial infections, since it’s a relatively enclosed area that’s easy to overlook in the bath or shower. (A possible sign of such an infection would be an unusually smelly navel.) It can also accumulate soap residue, which can over time dehydrate and irritate the skin inside. If that’s the case, making sure to thoroughly, gently clean the area every day with mild soap (and rinsing/drying well of course) might help.Or… It might not. It’s really hard to say from here. If you know for sure you’re keeping it adequately clean and it doesn’t get better within a week, or if the pain seems deep or unusually intense, I’d ask a doctor about it. There’s probably no reason to panic, but as I said, this could be a lot of things, and it’s best not to take that kind of chance.
Why does my navel/belly button hurt?
I hope your navel feels better now. If not, then you may have a bacterial infection cause of some minor injury inside your navel or it can be navel hernia. I once had a similar problem, but it was due to my lack of judgement by getting caught in the middle of 3 young adults who thought tickling their new sister-in-law probably is the most hilarious thing in this world. Them targeting my navel was reason enough for me to run, but I was not fast enough to get away from them and my navel had to bare the wrath of their brutal tickle torture. Now that I think of it, I should have just waited there and let them take their turns to tickle my navel peacefully and accept my defeat in a timely manner. However, this euphoria left my navel bruised and battered. I had to go see a doctor, he found small abrasion inside my navel caused by the heavy thrust of their fingers which went out of control when I fruitlessly was trying to avoid them. Luckily he just gave me an ointment and all was well in a day or two. Anyway, sorry to bore you with my story but I couldn’t resist.:)
Pain below belly button and lower stomach?
I've been having like a pain,crampy pressure feeling in my lower stomach and it hurt when I hadd sex and also when I push to pee/poop. My friend said it could be trapped wind or constipation but I'm pooping fine and passing wind. Ithurts when I walk a little and when I sit or bend. I pressed around and my belly is hard but it hurts to the left of my belly button a lot too. The pain started my lower left side the other morning I woke up and it was really sharp pains but since then it feels like pressure/crampy. I haven't done anything to cause it. I'm only 19, I was on the pill but stoppedd a few months ago but haven't had unprottected sex.
Clear sticky liquid that crystallizes in belly button? and flakey/skin on ear?
I'm not quite sure how to explain this, but I accidentally scratched some skin from the inside of my belly button and now there's a strange sticky liquid that sort of crystallizes over time? Should I be concerned about this? What is this called? Also, for a long time now, the place where glasses hand over on the ear has been flaking. Every time I scratch off the flakes/skin looking thing, it waters and more grows back. Is this similar to my belly button? How can I treat these problems?
On and off abdominal pain?
I woke up Wednesday morning with pain that started in the middle of my abdomen, just below my rib cage and was on and off. As the day progressed, the pain moved to my lower abdomen below my belly button and it woke me up throughout the night. I woke up this morning feeling quite horrible (though I haven't had much sleep in the past few days) and then fell back asleep until 2:30pm. I got up, went to the bathroom and watched TV for about an hour. I went to sit down at the computer and I got a sharp pain that hurt really bad and I cried because I think it was myself telling me I know there's something wrong. So basically this pain is just on and off and around my belly button now. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks a bunch!
Bad pain around belly button, I can't straighten up,hurts to take deep breaths.?
Hi, the last couple of days I've been coughing a lot due to some kinda sinus infection, but today I woke up having bad pains in my stomach, around my belly button, it hurts when I try to straighten the stomach or when I take deep breaths so i can't really walk upright. This really hurts it would help to get some answers:).
Pain in lower left stomach-only when I walk?
From yesterday afternoon onwards I noticed that if I walk anymore than about 3-5 steps, I start to get a sharp pain in the lower left part of my tummy. It only hurts for like a second with each step, and the pain isn't debilitating but it's still enough to make me want to avoid walking too much. The pain is very location specific, it only hurts in a tiny bit just below my belly button about half way between there and my hip bone. I don't have a fever, normal bowel movements etc, any ideas what this could be?
Stomach pain, from not eating?
You have anorexia, please go to the doctor and get help. Your stomach definitely hurts because you have not been eating; not eating enough can cause constipation, acid reflux, poor digestion and a myriad of other problems. Your period has also stopped (amenorrhea) because you have put your body in to a state of extreme stress. You could damage your fertility permanently if you r are amenorric for an extended amount of time. If you continue, your hair will start to fall out, your bones will becomes brittle (as a result of being amenorric - decrease estrogen levels means your bones will not be able to absorb as much calcium), you skin will become grey and tired looking, you will have low energy, your muscles will atrophy as they will be broken down by your own body in an attempt to feed itself and your stomach problems could/will become chronic. You could also die from cardiac arrest (your potassium/sodium channels will not function properly due to low intake of nutrients). If you are 5'8" and only weigh 106 lbs, you are VERY underweight. You should weigh around 120 lbs minimum. Please get help, anorexia is very, very serious, and very very difficult to get out of once you are in. As a person who suffered from this disorder I can tell you that it only took a couple of months for it to become very serious, but it took almost ten years to get out and I still have issues around food and body image today.
