Hernia?: You may have an umbilical hernia or other derivation of similar etiologies. I'd suggest seeing a doc for further eval with history and then a good physical exam of it.

Question 2

is it normal for you belly button being sensitive while pregnant?

Sensitive Umbilicus: Sensitivity around the umbilicus (belly button) is common in the second and their trimester. The likely reason for this is from stretching of the pregnant abdomen and that the tissue around the umbilicus does not stretch in the same way.

A few weeks: You may feel sensitivity there up to 8 weeks postoperatively.  Permanent numbness is possible in any incision, though that rarely bothers the patient much.

Question 8

my belly button is hypersensitive my whole life if you touch it.  how do you clean it out with it being so sensitive???  is this normal?

No need?: Perhaps you don't need to clean out the belly button - does it get red, swollen, or drain?  If not just leave it alone and wash normally in tub / shower with soap.

Question 9

26 yr old, grandson has a nickle size hard, sensetive protrusion on his abdomen, 3"-4" up and to the right of his belly button. he says he's had it for a couple of years, hurts lots when hit or pushed in, ("like a pin in there") has become more sensitive

Accepted Answer

This : This needs to be medically evaluated.  There are several possibilities that it could be, but any abdominal mass needs to be evaluated, especially if it is painful.  If he develops vomiting, increased pain, or fever then he needs emergency evaluation.

Question 10

what causes my naval to be so sensitive (my whole life) that even touching the inside of it causes a lightning bolt type of pain to course through me and actually feel as though it is shooting through the penis. i cant even clean the belly button?

Accepted Answer

: One possible explanation is an abnormality of the urachus, which runs from the belly button to the top of the bladder. In the fetus it is an open pathway. It normally closes off completely prior to birth. If it doesn't, it can result in a connection between the two and cause pain.
