[|Human|] hi doctor, i have this mild umbilical pain, just right on top of my belly button. pain is not always there, relieve with analgesic. not sure of what this may be... can u please provide possible cause of this type of pain and what i should do. thank you.
[|AI|]  Hello! Thank you for the query. Pain located close to umbilicus is usually caused by a hernia in this area. This is more possible if you also have a lump in this area, the pain is more intense when coughing or standing and lifting heavy objects. Sometimes, when such hernia stuck, the pain is present all the time and can not be eased with painkillers. In such situation, urgent surgery is necessary. So please visit a doctor and have ultrasound of this area. In case of hernia, surgery is necessary to fix it. Hope this will help. Regards.
