General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi Angeles,

Pain around the belly button could be due to many causes like gas (trapped air), initial stages of appendicitis, any gastro intestinal infection, urinary tract infection , ovulation pain etc.

Hence the doctor must have advised a urine routine , blood test and ultrasound as all these investigations will help rule out the above mentioned possibilities including any problem in the uterus/ovaries etc.

Meanwhile, I would suggest that you drink plenty of fluids a day , at least 8- 10 glasses of water a day.

Hope this helps. Get well soon.

Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
