Severe Tenderness Below Belly Button On Putting Pressure. IUD Implanted After Delivery. Cause?

About four finger lengths down from my belly button, on the right hand side, I'm experiencing severe tenderness (on a scale of one to ten, I would say the pain is a seven). It's only tender when pressure is applied and has been like this for over a month now. I don't know if this is relevant, but I had a baby seven months ago, and had an IUD implanted about four months ago.

Hello,

Thanks for posting on HCM,

Given the location of the tenderness there are numerous possibilities that might be causing the tenderness. The problem might be from your pelvic organs or your gut. The possible different causes might be:
- Chronic PID: infection of your pelvic organs---tubes, uterus etc
- Hemorrhagic ovarian cyst
- Subacute appendicitis
- Diverticulitis
You will need to see a gynobs as soon as possible so you can fully be examined, a pelvic scan done and laboratory tests.

Hope this helps
