Hello, Pain around the belly button that radiates towards the lower left side of the abdomen can be due to many reasons like in females might be related to organs of the reproductive system or in general due to irregular bowel movements. If the pain is repetitive and intense then I suggest you get an ultrasound abdomen done. That s the primary imaging test which will help to find out if there is an underlying cause related to the pain. Visit your doctor with the reports as along with that physical examination should be done and as per the history, he will guide you further. As you mentioned the problem of obesity, the first thing you should do is start exercising on a routine basis. Sometimes obesity leads to stress and exercise helps in the improvement of symptoms of anxiety and stress. It takes time but eventually with consistant schedule you can reduce weight. If the anxiety and stress is bothering you a lot then consulting a psychiatrist will help as if needed the psychiatrist will suggest some medicines as well as counselling sessions will improve the symptoms. Try meditating as it has great effects on anxiety and stress. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
