What Causes Tearing Sensation Near Belly Button?
I have a on again off again pain when I stand from sitting up close to my left bellybutton it is not persistent pain. It feels like a tearing sensation. I have had this for 5 days. I still have my appendix, but I don t think this is related to my appendix. What is your advise?

Hi,
It can be related to appendix and ultrasound abdomen as well as complete blood count may be needed if a detailed abdominal examination by a general surgeon suggests so. Meanwhile OTC analgesic like acetaminophen or ibuprofen alongside anti spasmodic like drotaverine can be helpful for symptomatic relief.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
