pain in belly button

Hi
It’s been 7 weeks now since my ordeal started. I am a 40 year old mother of four, married for 21 years. 7 weeks ago I started to have pain in my belly button during orgasms, the pain got worse each time and I had to completely stop enjoying sex. I went to my Gyno who told me I had cysts in the uterus ( they did ultra sound) but with birth control medication it would go away. Well it didn’t. I changed gyno. and the new doctor told me I could have infection in the uterus and gave me antibiotics (becasue I have been sufferig with a lot of yeast infections). Well it’s been 2 weeks and I think it’s getting worse. Lately the pain in the belly button has also started happening during the day (off/on) dull pain in belly button going down and sometimes throbbing on the left side. I have another appointment for today since I am not getting any better.
Does anyone have any idea what can be the cause of this or has anyone experienced this?

It could be cysts, polyps, fibroids.  If the pain worsens and you have a fever, nausea, definately go to the ER. Have they tested for STD's?  Done a CT Scan? Not just Xrays or Ultrasound...

I had simular symptoms and it progressed rapidly to the point I was hospitalized and it turned out that my uterous, etc had become necrotic. With the pain on the Left... it could be a deflection of something actually happening on the right.

Hi there and welcome.  Well, no.  I haven't experienced that and am sorry that you are.  Things that I've read are associated with  belly button pain are problems with the appendix.  Have you checked into that?  Also, cystitis or urinary tract infections left untreated that go to the kidneys can also cause this type of pain.  Hernias can also cause belly button pain.  Digestive issues.  In truth, I'm glad you are seeing an ob/gyn and I'd be a squeaky wheel until you find some answers.  I'd consider also going to a gastroenterologist to explore this pain.  good luck
