I'm 15 years old. I'm having pain around
and near my belly button. (directly on my
belly button and a few inches under it)
especially when I push around it, stretch,
or move from one position to another
quickly. It feels hard where the pain is
occurring. It is a constant pain,
although when i’m not moving it is less
intense. Does any one know what this
might be?

How long has this been occuring? If the
pain is constant, and it doesnt get any
better, or go away in a few days, go see
your doc. You will probably get an
ultrasound.

It's just been today, but it hasn't
stopped hurting. For work I had to wear
pants that come right to my navel and may
have put pressure on it and it hurt worse
there. I've been trying to do some
research and it may be a hernia... Do 15
year olds get hernias? Does this sound
like a hernia to you?

Hernias are more common in males than in
females and there would be a protrusion.
Is it a surface pain, or does it feel like
it is more deep. You may have pull a
muscle or pinched a nerve, or it may be
underneath, where your uterus or bladder
is. When was your last period? And are
you sexually active ? Have you noticed
any other symptoms?

It definatly feels like it is something
inside me. Its not like a bruise. My
last period was 2 days ago, but it was a
breakthrough bleeding. I only have my
period every 3 months or so, and about
once a month I bleed for a day and thats
it. I'm not sexually active and I havent
noticed any other symptoms.
What could it be if it were where my
uterus was? An infection or is it
possible that it's an ovary cyst?

If it were an ovary cyst you would feel it
to the left or right of your belly button,
not in the center.Since you have irregular
periods, and your last one was only 2 days
ago, I would say that it is just cramps to
do with menstruating. It's common for
girls to have irregular periods,
especially when they are younger. It's
not that big of a deal, as I know some
girls who are 18, and still have irregular
periods. If I were you I would see a
doctor and start birth control pills, even
if you aren't sexually active. The
hormones in the pills will regulate your
period like clock work. It also helps
some of the symptoms of periods such as
cramps, bloating, pms etc. It can also
help acne, if that is a problems for
you.
Hope this helps

My cramps are usually below my belly
button, but that might just be me...
Certainly go to a doctor, just ot get it
all figured out and fixed, if it doesn't
go away in a day or two. No sense being
in pain!

Could Still Be a Cyst Posted: 09-15-05 13:16pm
Cyst don't just happen on your ovary.
They can happen on your uterous. You
won't know for sure that until it burst or
go to the doctor. Hope by now that the
pain has gone away or that you know what
it is.
