How To Stop Pain And Sensitivity Around Navel When Pressed?
Hi. I have had some pain or sensitivity around my navel area for 2-3 days now. It seems to hurt, when I press in that area or lay on my stomach. I have had bowel movements but not everyday. I m not sure what it is. Any ideas or solutions on how to make it stop being so sensitive?
Hi. There is a possibility of an infection in the naval area or the intestines beneath. You may need to take a course of an antibiotic and see a Gastro Surgeon for further evaluations on clinical examination. Sometimes the mild infection is the cause for such tenderness.
