A member asked:

Nothing too serious, but why does my belly button hurt a little after sex? it's very rare that it happens, but it hurts for a few seconds afterwards

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hernia?: You may have a small congenital umbilical hernia. Prolonged tightening of your abdominal muscles during sex could aggravate as small hernia. If the pain becomes persistent or you notice a lump in or around your belly button, see your physician.

It feels like there's a small lump below my belly button. It isn't increasing in size and it doesn't hurt so I'm wondering what it could be? Pressing on it or rubbing it makes the skin above it slightly tender?
