Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, for over a year now I have been having an aching pain in my abdomin on both sides right below belly button level. It is an achy feeling almost like when you have a bruise and someone pushes on it. It seem to ache both in the front and on my back. The pain comes and goes and can be gone for a few weeks and only last a few hours or a couple days. Lately when I get the aching it is getting more severe. I m pretty sure this is not associated with my menstral cycle. I m starting to wonder if this is something to worry about.
Hi. Definitely this is something to worry about. Pain on both sides bellow belly button which is recurrent can be due to some rare causes like patent or cyst of urachus which is not connected to the umbilicus now. Can be Endometriosis or lymph node mass at this site.
The best way to get a correct diagnosis is is to go for : CT scan of the abdomen besides the routine blood, urine and stool tests.
Treatment will depend upon the cause found on investigations.
