What Is The Reason For Having Pain About An Inch Vertically Downward From Belly Bottom On Right Side?

I have a pain about an inch vertically downward from my bellybutton on the right side. The doctor had me checked for gallstones. I've been told I've had a hernia before as we'll, but no tests have been run. Any ideas what this could be? It's a mild discomfort. Is it my small intestine?

Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your query.
Well it definitely sounds like neuromuscular pain of abdominal wall and in first palce this would be hernia so you should do ultrasound and surgery examiantion . Of course, there can be intraabdominal cause but it is hard to say what part. most common this is due to gallbladder stones or gastritis but many other issues can be considered.
Wish you good health. Regards.
