A member asked:

Can constipation cause bellybutton pain ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

In Children, Yes: Often kids don't localize abdominal pain well and may identify as periumbilical or "belly button" pain. Constipation is a fairly common cause of pediatric abdominal pain. If severe or not improving as the constipation relieved would need further consultation.
