Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi there, I have a pain near my belly button but e towards the right hand side lower abdomen. I have had the pain for 2 days straight now. Its only about a 4/10 pain wise. I am not vomiting, no loss of appetite, no constipation or other toilet problems. I am 19 years old. I did have surgery on my belly button when I was about 10 years old. I had a hernia. I also had a hernia bump when I was younger which was visible but since I have filled out as I have gotten older the bump is not visible. Could this be appendix? Could this be a hernia? It does hurt to push on the area of the pain. Its a sharp stabbing pain. Cannot stand straight without the tight pulling sharp sensation.

What Causes Persistent Pain Near The Navel?
Hello, The symptoms seem to be related to the recurrent hernia. I suggest doing an abdominal ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis. If the diagnosis is confirmed, the treatment consists of surgery.
