Brief Answer:
Not related to ovarian pathology.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The pain and burning under the belly button after taking wine is not likely to be related to ovaries or any cancer. This can be due to gastritis and intestinal inflammation caused by the wine. Do start taking an antacid regularly and decrease the amount of wine and see if it helps.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
