What Causes Intermittent Pain Around Navel?
I am having pain around my belly button that comes and goes. I have had blood tests done and it was shown that there is nothing wrong with my gallbladder and pancreas. I am scared because this pain really hurts around my belly button. Do you know what could be causing this pain? I am supposed to be getting an ultrasound soon. So far the pain is just around my belly button.

Hello
Intermittent pain in navel region may be due to many causes like appendicitis,colitis etc.
You may need clinical correlation and investigations.
You may need routine hemogram,stool RE/ME and ultrasound of abdomen.
In ultrasound long,tubular,blind ended,aperistaltic structure may indicate appendicitis.
Surgical intervention or conservative treatment depend upon findings and clinical evaluation.
You should consult surgeon for proper evaluation.
There are also clinical methods to confirm appendicitis.
Get well soon.
Take Care
