What Causes Continuous Pain Across The Abdomen And Belly Button?

Am 73 years old. 4 children. Happily married. Have healthy lifestyle. Grow lots of our own food. Still working . Running purpose built B&B on the farm after retiring 2000 .The reason I went to the Dr. was for continuous moderate pain across my abdomen just below my belly button for 5 months ?First GP said as I walked out We are looking for ovarian cancer you know? Then had CT scan & ultra sound & CEA Blood test & Coeliac blood test [as we have 1 coeliac daughter] Nothing! So referred to gynaecologist. Then laparoscopy & bladder search [31/03/14]Then colonoscopy. [03/06/14] Found 3 polyps. 1 cancerous/adenomatous. quarterised. Sent to Colon specialist. You are lucky........this is an unusual route taken & good outcome ! I want you to have another CEA blood test in Dec. then another colonoscopy in 1 year from now. Then in 2 years & if all OK every 5 years & tell your children [4 ] to have one & your siblings [ 10 ] highly inheritable. The pain persists ? None were concerned. But I feel pain is an indicator of a problem. [Not yet found] Do you have any thoughts Why ?

Hello,
I can understand your concerns, because you had pain abdomen you were completely evaluated and you could find adenomatous polyp that was removed , which is a good thing, and hence you should be on frequent screenings as mentioned by your doctor to know that everything is normal and no new polyps have formed, but persistence of pain abdomen with normal scans , then you should be getting an Upper GI endoscopy done to rule out other causes of pain abdomen ( such as Esophagitis, Gastritis, GERD or any ulcers). Please kindly consult your Gastroenterologist. Hope I could help you.
Thank you.
