A member asked:

I'm getting a pain that comes and goes on the right side of my belly button right next to it?

See a doctor: Pain is usually indicative of underlying irritation. While some may be innocuous, a thorough evaluation is in order.

Umbilical hernia: If the pain is located in the abdominal wall next to your umbilicus (belly button) it is most likely to be a small hernia, though many intraabdominal conditions may begin with pain referred to the umbilicus, including (but not limited to) appendicitis, typhlitis, enteritis, ovarian cysts to name a few. If the pain persists or becomes severe, seek immediate attention.
