What Could Be The Weird Sensation Like Something Crawling Inside Belly Button?
I have a weird sensation inside my belly button. like something crawling under my skin. i did a pregnancy test,negative. However i still have this sensation like...putting something to far into the belly button...is what its most like. its annoying and seems more active during the night as i try to sleep.
What you feel is nothing more than regular intestinal movements. If an intestine is in the close neighborhood to the skin, you can feel the moving with your skin receptors. It is more common in thin persons. Sometimes due to umbilical hernia such sensations can be more noticeable. As long as there is no abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, fever, no reason to be concerned. If there is a lump in the belly button area, hernia is possible. In such case you should consult a surgeon.
Hope this will help. Regards.
