Several things: If you're having no severe pain, no nausea or vomiting, no diarrhea, no fevers and no pain with urination then most likely a benign condition.

Accepted Answer

Abdominal pain: Given the info you've provided, recurrent abdominal pain is not uncommon and often benign. Irritable bowel syndrome (ibs) is a diagnosis of exclusion, so we can't say this is ibs without a more detailed workup. But my best advice is to keep a good diary of the "triggers" that cause the pain. E.G., is it associated with stress? Is it more often in the morning or after certain types of foods, etc.

Accepted Answer

Pyogenic granuloma: You may have an infection in your belly button known as a pyogenic granuloma which because of friability can bleed.

Question 10

i have pains behind my belly button. could it be gas?

Accepted Answer

Abdominal pain: Hi MarieeA,
Abdominal pain is usually evaluated based on the onset of the pain, location, duration, radiation of the pain to other areas, intensity of the pain (how bad it is) and associated symptoms. In a young woman of childbearing age, you should visit a physician if the pain is bothering you, especially if there is any chance you may be pregnant. http://www.aafp.org/afp/2008/0401/p971.html
