What Causes Abdominal Pain Below The Naval?

My 18 year old daughter, who has a high tolerance for pain and does not complain often, is complaining of abdominal pain below the naval. Says it has been going on for at least a year. Says she is always aware of some type of pain there, sometimes mild, but sometimes sharp. Says it is definitely worse when she wears tight low-rise pants. As for food she eats a lot of salad, bananas and peanut butter, raisin bran cereal, granola bars. Doesn't associate the pain with stress. Was diagnosed with an umbilical hernia when she was 2 or 3, seen by a surgeon but told surgery not needed at the time and no issues with it since then. A year ago she saw a nurse practitioner who had a blood test done and recommended Zantac (which she did not take because she didn't feel the pain was in her stomach or esophagas.)

Hi. Gone through the history. The pain bellow the naval area should be investigated by a proper clinical examination by a Surgeon, who on examination can think of a proper diagnosis and advise further investigations like ultrasonography and so on on the basis of clinical suspicion.
