What Causes Sharp Abdominal Pain?
i woke up this morning and had a sharp shooting pain in my stomach. it was in my belly button area but it was an internal pain. it hurt a little bit when I walked around but whenever I pee it is a sharp shooting pain still in my belly button area. I m not sure what this is or what to do about it

Hi,
I understand your concerns.
The sharp pain you feel in your belly button area whenever you pee is indicative for possible cystitis (inflammation/infection of bladder).
I advise to run further tests as you might need prescription antibiotics/medicines:
- urine analysis
- abdominal ultrasound
Depending on the tests results, specific treatment will be prescribed.
For the moment, I advise to take:
- plenty of water
- go to toilet whenever you feel the need, do not delay
- take magnesium citrate and cranberry to stabilize urine pH and subside the symptoms
Wish fast recovery!
