I have sharp pains in my belly button

i got the same shiit but i went to the doctor and he did allot of tests on me and everything was normal than he said it could be my imagination

This is best answer i can be bothered to write!

I use to get this too, are you all fairly active and under 25? if so, i dont think its anything to worry about, it seems fairly common, but I'm not a medical expert or anything just another victim, who happens to have a interest in science!

There's a structure in the developing fetus called the urachus, which is a tube leading from the bladder to the umbilicus, this develops into the urethra ect. So when the umbilical core is cut and tied into a belly button, it is still connected to the urethra. Hence why this effect our most delicate of areas.
I read alot about how theres no connection between these two, but this is rubbish, it simple biological development/evolution!

The nerves in your belly button are rarely stimulated so are very sensitive. The pain is caused by nerves ending that runs from your belly button down and connect to uritha that spasms, and tighten, this tension is why when you stretch backwards it pulles tight and hurt like hell and is sensitive to touch! (spasms causing that random twinge of pain)

If you guys dont believe me, there's plenty of documented cases of where the belly button is tied right, and urine leaks out of it... which sound pretty dam nasty!!

I dont know how to stop it, except the curl into a ball i hope it dissappears, lol! Just thought some of you would like some backgroud Knowledge on it. Easy to find out more info... just not a cure!

And i tried to never pee when I had it... you brave fools! jus wait 10 mins and hope it goes away quick!

I thankfully stopped getting this a few years ago, so maybe it's something to do with growing, i used to be a bit lanky, but still i don't see why some of you larger people shouldn't suffer with this too!
Doctor's dont seem to know cos it so minor, and obviously never amount to anything more serious... hence the crappy answers online!

oh and by the way I ain't ever had a hernia, any appendix problems, kidney infection, and i'm pretty sure it aint a kidney stone cos it would hurt like hell on the way out!

Sorry to the creationist... I've left you out. I know your not allowed think about the real facts and science so here's an answer just for you guys: God didn't mess it up, God just doesn't like you! or would you prefer.., the pain is not real it's create by the devil to trick you!


Anyway to all you normals, hope this info helps a bit, although it doesn't solve anything for ya, You'll just have to wait till it goes away on its own! :-P

Hi!,

i just woke up with a horrible pain like you described and i have no clue what it is Ive checked the internet a million times and i cannot figure out what it is! im hesitant to go to the doctor too im glad that there is more then on eperson to have this but mine hasn't gone away yet. i just don't know what to do.

OMG I thought I was the only one who had this pain.....idk what it is but it hurts like crazy....especially when I pee I find my self hold my stomach and leaning against the wall......hopefully someone finds out what it is!!!

I have the same problem right now! God it hurts! My sis said its appendicitis, cause she had it, but id go to the doctor if it gets worse. Best of luck to the both of us!

Yah same around my belly button but its also hurting like lower around my balls

same here 16 years old male and it seems like when i stretch it it is pulling on something inside that is too short i tried taking the pain and stretching it out as far as i could and that didn't help much but it did give me a little bit of leeway. I've had this happen on multiple occasions anyone who has this going to the bathroom will NOT help. I have found nothing on the subject for some reason even though there are cases exactly like mine. if anyone knows keep looking because there are a LOT of sites with people wanting too know.

Im a 22 yr old female and i get these. I've been getting this pain for all my teenage years and i dont know what it is either.

it sound like a hernia go to the doctors

Not necessarily, I have had, what sounds like the same issue since I was little. It was even to the point where I would complain to my mom and throw fits if she put the waist of my clothes on my belly button when I was little, because it would cause pain. It got a little better as I grew up, then once i became a teen it came back a lot worse, to the point where I had to stretch slowly or it would cause too much pain, and sometimes just wouldn't even bother to stretch up if I could get away with it. I complained to my doctor, who assumed it would be a hernia, and sent me to a hernia to be accessed, and to schedule surgery, however upon several tests the specialist did not find any hernias or problems. My doctor then sent me to another specialist, again nothing. He then checked himself when he assumed the hernia was after listening carefully to my symptoms, due to no other specialists near by, and he too could find no physical problem, after a few months it stopped being as bad, but still gets bad some days and I just stay in a ball, and have yet to found out why, but every doctor I've seen says it isn't a hernia.

Hi iam 39 and i just started get them pains like one year ago with bad pains like your mom and it wakes me up at night and i have to go to poop right away . so i seen the docter and he sent me to get x-ray and now they are sending me to have a scope up the butt done they think i have the start of cilties

ya not alone fellas im a 21 yo male and it happens to me. i actually went to my primary doctor and they couldn't think of what it could be?  SOMEONE FIND SOME ANSWERS!!!!!!

 

Due to muscle spasm, cramping: hunching, sitting with body leaning forward for too long make abdominal muscles contract over time. It will shorten and constricted when pull, sudden bending with pressure also can cause muscle cramp (you feel pain and you stop moving - its a defense mechanism to protect internal organs and muscles from tear/wear) so stay calm and let those muscles relax and lengthen. Pulling away, stretching with force will further damage and take longer time to recover. Manage with a short break and walk around. Avoid sitting for too long. Apply gentle massage to upper and lower abs to relax and improve blood circulation. Cardio-exercising, warm up and stretching will help to strengthening the back and front muscles thus prevent and improve muscle conditioning and flexibility. Hope that info helps. Good luck from Mr. Kumar

i'm going through the same thing. go to the doctor and get antibiotics. this only happens to me when i have a UTI. also try cranberry juice or cranberry pills and advil. they help the pain. it happens when i stretch and when i use the bathroom so it sounds like your issue.
