What Causes Sharp Pain On The Left Side Below Naval?
Male, 53, experiencing intermittent sharp pain left side just below naval, when tightening pants belt buckle. No other health problems, no medications, non smoker, non drinker. Weight 202, Height 6'2 great shape, regular exercise/ walker. Pain for 2 weeks and more frequent. Thanks
Hi. If there is a pain only on tightening the buckle , I can think of umbilical or para- umbilical hernia as the first diagnosis. Better to get checked by a Surgeon as small hernias are not easily found.
