Suggest Treatment For Belly Button Pain With Lump On It
Hi, my boyfriend has recently developed pain in his belly button. he says it feels as thought it is inside of him and the pain feels like a sharp pain or pressure. He has trouble sitting up or moving into the sitting up position. He thought it had to do with cleaning his belly button in the shower the other day, however today he developed a red lump.bump above his belly button. What could this be, or what could have cause this? I'm very concerned it is a hernia. Could it be something he ate? Thanks!

welcome to Health care magic.
1.The symptoms seems to be like umbilical hernia, It could be caused due to lifting some weight, weakness of the anterior abdominal wall.
2.No its not because of something you ate, the food will not cause such symptoms.
3.The pain in this case is felt when bowel / omentum gets strangulated.
4.If you are my patient after examination i would have ask for a ultrasound examination to see the presence of anterior abdominal wall defect, presence of strangulation of bowel.
5.Sugget you to see your doctor as soon as possible before it get complicated.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
