Question 1

i have had a pain near my belly button on the left side for over a year. pa ran no tests 6 month ago but said it was "stress". what could this be?

Accepted Answer

You might have, but: Pain near belly-button (umbilicus) may originate locally due to infection or herniation, or be "referred" from another abdominal location like the appendix. Signs/symptoms of concern include: local redness &amp; drainage, umbilical bulging that can't be reduced with gentle pressure, fever, vomiting, change in bowels, generalized abdominal tenderness (suggests peritonitis), worsening pain.

Question 2

i have a bulge near my belly button on my left side it doesnt hurt all could it be a baby or is it something else?

Accepted Answer

Hernia is but one: POSSIBILITY.  You need to see your doctor for a proper evaluation.  Peace and good health.

Question 3

what organ is next to the belly button and on the left side?

Accepted Answer

Left side: There are many organs on the left side of the abdomen, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, spleen, kidney, fallopian tube's, ovary, but one others.

Question 4

for the past week i have had a niggly pain in line with my belly button on the left side. it comes and goes, and is there when i bend over. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Some thoughts: without an exam, I can only give general information. Umbilicus has residual structures. They can get infected (you would know) or a hernia in it (visible mostly). The hernia can be intrnal and increases with bending over.

Question 5

pain from belly button to the left side of abdomen. been there for about 4 days. seems to be worse when lying down. im female age 44?

Accepted Answer

Exam needed: Persistent abdominal pain for 4 days warrants an examination by a physician or abdominal surgeon, especially if there's associated tenderness. I assume there has been no recent strain of an abdominal muscle.  Possibilities include diverticulitis of the descending colon, inflammatory bowel disease or an umbilical hernia.

Question 6

i have been having pain inside my belly button on the left side for a few days now. it is only when i press on it or make certain movements. help!

Accepted Answer

Umbilical pain.: Pain inside your navel or umbilicus can be caused by things inside the abdomen, like appendicitis, and umbilical hernia, infected piercing, etc. Please see your physician for a full evaluation including a physical exam.

Question 7

i'm having severe pain 1in or less away from my belly button on left side that's constant, should i go to er?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Severe is severe. No reason to wait any longer till you have a burst appendix.  Better to find out the cause than delay and hope it goes away.

Question 8

what is on the left side at about the level of your belly button?

Accepted Answer

Guts.: Intestines, tail of pancreas, edge of spleen.  There could possibly be upper part of a high uterus/fallopian tube or lower part of a low stomach.

Question 9

what will cause my left side of my belly button which is sharp to the left side of my back?

Accepted Answer

: I assume you're describing pain around the navel which radiates to the left side around to the back. Any tenderness? Any evidence if an umbilical hernia? Any bowel or urinary symptoms?  Any rash to suggest shingles?  If a rash appears see your MD.  Otherwise an abdominal surgeon or a gastroenterologist could also examine and advise you.

Question 10

i been having pain in my lower left side of my abdomen then the pain goes under my belly button?

Accepted Answer

See below: These are symptoms that could be potentially serious.  You should discuss these with your physician.  He/she will thoroughly evaluate you and let you know what's going on.
