Pain below my Belly Button
I have been experiencing some pain in the area below my belly button, the gut area. It feels like gas, but I am not sure what gas is doing that low. It occurs around the same time every day (2:30-3:30pm) and when I get up from my desk to walk to the bathroom it hurts to stand up perfectly straight to walk (like I normally walk). After I go to the bathroom and sit there a few minutes, I start to feel a little better, but it takes until about 5-6pm, for the discomfort to go away. It almost feels like a pressure in there and when I put pressure on it, it feels better. My sister is studying nursing and she doesn't think I should have gas so low on my body- she thinks it could be something with my ovaries or reproductive system. I am concerned and wonder if I should call my doctor. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
THE FACT THAT IT HAPPENS AT THE SAME TIME EACH DAY WOULD TEND TO TELL ME THAT IT IS POSSIBLY FOOD/DIGESTION RELATED IF YOU EAT/DRINK A MEAL/SNACK AT THE SAME TIME EACH DAY.
I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE OUR MAJOR DIGESTIVE ORGAN (STOMACH) IS CIRCUMVENTED, THAT GASES & DIGESTIVE JUICES FLOW QUICKER THROUGH OUR SYSTEM & THAT MOST OF THE ACTUAL DIGESTION IS DONE IN OUR INTESTINES SO IT'S POSSIBLY A DIGESTIVE/GAS RELATED ISSUE.
PUTTING PRESSURE ON THAT AREA MAKING IT FEEL BETTER ALSO INDICATES THAT YOU ARE MOVING THE GASES/JUICES/DIGESTED FOOD SO THAT IT ISN'T SITTING IN ONE PLACE ...
YOUR SISTER COULD CERTAINLY BE RIGHT ABOUT FEMALE ISSUES BUT THE ONLY TIMING OF PAIN THAT I'VE EVER HAD WAS IN RELATION TO THE TIMING OF MY PERIODS & CYCLES ... NOT ON A DAILY PATTERN AT A SPECIFIC TIME EACH DAY.
BUT, SAYING ALL THAT ... BECAUSE THE PAIN IS SEVERE ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU FROM STANDING UP COMFORTABLY, & BECAUSE IT IS REPETITIVE, I WOULD DEFINITELY CALL YOUR DOCTOR. THIS DOESN'T SOUND LIKE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO GUESS AT ... BE SAFE, MS CARLA ...
