Pelvic Pain- below belly button- hurts to move, can't walk sometimes

Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum. Recently I've been having terrible pain that comes out of no where. I've tried looking it up on google but nothing seems to fit. When it comes, it's a few inches below my belly button, extending down into vagina. It's not a burning feeling--it's more of an ache or stabbing/pulling pain. It's gotten so bad at times that I can't walk or stand up straight, no position makes it go away. I feel pressure and pain when I need to tinkle, and while I am, and after. Sometimes before the pain in the center starts, I feel what kind of feels like cramps on the left side... it kind of migrates down. I really hope some of this makes sence to someone. I'm 20 years old, and have no insurance yet. I am hoping someone else out there knows what this is. Thank you all for your time in reading this, I look forward to hearing back from you.

I'm 15, and pretty much exactly what you described has been happening to me since I was a kid. I tried to describe it to my parents a really long time ago but they didn't get it so I just kind of dropped it... It happens to me every couple months, and for me the only way for me to make it go away is to curl up into a ball and fall asleep, and it's usually gone by the time I wake up. I always thought it was just me, so I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that this happens to.

Hi, um I have the same thing as you, idk what it is thats causing it, but it hurts like hell when I stretch, or stand straight, and when I having to pee, it hurts, while I pee it feels as if its my belly button being pulled, so I have to stop peeing in mid way so it can stop hurting, I cant stay standing because of it, and it goes away, for like a couple of months but comes back. Today, right now it hit me really hard when I had strecthed a horrible pain around my belly button, and below my belly button, so I sat down trying to hold the pain. So I was wondering if you found out what it was, and im only 17, this pain started when I was around 12 or 11.

Hello, I am male, but I have had the same problem minus the vagina part, but after a couple hours of tedious self educating, I discovered an explanation and solution, assuming the pain comes from your belly button. There is a little tube called the urachus which connects the navel to the bladder. It is used to expel urine through the umbilical chord when you are still in the uterus, but when you are born it basically turns into a tendon. It can get very tight when you are dehydrated, hunched over for a while, or workout without stretching. When you stand up quickly it stretches the area and pulls this chord causing a sharp pain. I assume the reason it hurts when you cough is because you are flexing your abdominal muscles. The best thing to do is try to slowly stretch it out by arching your spine backwards. It will hurt a little but it will go away relatively quickly. If this is your problem, then there is not much to worry about. I really hope this helped, good luck.

Hi my name is Afsana i have this kind of pain in my lower abdomen and it goes down towards my vagina and it is also like a pulling pain sometimes i only get that real pulling pain during my period , but right now i'm not on it and this pain is random comes when i stand or lay down sometimes when i cough i seen the doctor about this a while back but he said it was just swelling from working out then another doctor said it could've been from my plan b or i got my self a sonogram and they said a whole bunch of things but now i was told my uterus was now thickend and there could be many reasons for it like a fibroid or a cyst something like that , I'm really scared and i hope that this is not serious . I'm 19 years old and i am sexually active unprotected with one guy .& I'm not pregnant either . My doc told me to go to the gyno so i hope its not serious ?

I was just wondering if anyone has any more info. Im 21 and have had this pain for a  few yrs. I've been to the dr. She thought it was a uti but I've had it for so long. So did and untasound too, and nothing was wrong. I haven't had it for awhile but I got it again. It hurts everytime I move. I get it especially when I stand up, and it makes me almost fall over. Thanks
