What Causes Tenderness And Soreness On My Belly Bottom?

Hello,
I have a small area slightly to the left of my belly button that is tender and sore, but only when pushed on. (I discovered it when I leaned over to reach for something and the counter put some pressure on my abdomen. No other symptoms but it is pretty tender.

Hello and thanks for your question.
It is possibly a small hernia or a cyst. Hernias are separations in the abdominal muscles and a small piece of bowel can push through especially when you put pressure on the abdomen like when you bend over or cough. Cysts are small fluid filled structures that can turn up anywhere. Neither one of these are dangerous but if the pain becomes severe you would need to see a doctor right away. Best to see your doctor soon to confirm the diagnosis.
Thanks for using HCM.
