A member asked:

Why do i have belly button pain upon stretching?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ron Eaker answered

Where tissue connect: The lining of the abdomen called peritoneum all bunches together at the belly button therefore anything that moves or irritates those tissues can result in discomfort or stretching in that area.

Dr Ali and 3 doctors agreed
