Teenager. Indent On Left Side Of Stomach By Belly Button, Dull Pain In The Area. Possible Gas Pain?
I'm a 16 year old female and, I've never noticed this before but about 2 months ago I noticedI hve a indent on my left side of my stomach by my belly button, it don't hurt to touch but I sometimes get a dull pain where the indent is. so my question is, could it be gas pains? Or is it from the indent? And what could it be?
It may be due to any anatomical defect in the umbilicus or rectus sheath. Most probably it may be congenital. You may need Ultrasound/CT/MRI of the abdomen to arrive at a diagnosis. Consult your doctor and get evaluated.
