What Causes Constant Fluttering Sensation Near The Navel Region?

default
Posted on Tue, 9 May 2023
Question: In the last few months I’ve felt fluttering in my tummy near my belly button. I’m 41 and had a hysterectomy with a full cut not key hole, so the scar does lead up to my belly button which can be sensitive. I still have my ovaries and a cervical stump. I’m also quite a heavy drinker

Hello,

Fluttering in the tummy may be due to gastritis, so take antacids and avoid driving. To be the safe side you should go for Ultrasound abdomen.

it could also be due to nerve tingling if the surgery was done recently.

The surgery was done about 8 or 9 years ago, so is it possible that it still could be nerve issues? I also have a colostomy bag due to spinabifida and have been abit constipated.

Brief Answer:
Can be Vitamin B 12 deficiency.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

After 8 or 9 years the chances of nerve related issues are less. It can be due to Vitamin B 12 deficiency or mild nerve root irritation due to disc related issues. Not likely to be related to colostomy bag or constipation. Methylcobalamin supplements can help in reducing the symptoms.

Hope my answer is helpful.
