What does it mean if my bellybutton hurts if I touch my bellybutton it hurts
There . There are many things that cause umbilical (aka belly button) pain. You may have an umbilical hernia (part of the intestines bulging through a defect around your belly button) or even appendicitis (an inflammation/infection of the appendix)
there are other possibilities including irritable bowel syndrome, cancers(rectal, colon), and even kidney problems.
The bottom line is umbilical pain can be a sign of a serious condition, and warrants an evaluation by your primary care provider right away.
Good luck.
