Navel Pain
by morenita9977, Jul 01, 2008 12:17AM
Dear Dr.,
I am currently experiencing a sharp pain in my navel area. It is painful to press that area with my hand. I have never experienced this type of pain before. (I also have an "innie" navel.) Before the pain started this evening, I experienced diziness this morning.
I am currently in the middle my menstrual cycle and I am not sure if this related to my problem.
I am generally a healthy person, although sometimes I experience problems passing bowel movements.
I am currently taking the medication doxycycline for my acne and I am not sure if the medication is related to any of the pain that I am experiencing in my navel area.
You assistance in answering my question is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Kind regards.
