What would cause moderate pain 4 inches to the right of the navel? i have had appendectomy and hysterectomy.

Scar tissue/adhesion: Adhesions or scar tissue is the most likely reason for the discomfort considering the location and your previous surgeries., however, have a MD examine the area, as bowel issues can also cause the same pain.
