Symptoms: Abdominal pain, along with diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and sometimes chills.
Why it’s common: Gastroenteritis is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection and often resolves with hydration and rest. Still, severe cases may require medical treatment.
3. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Symptoms: Crampy or bloating, dull abdominal pain, changes in bowel movements (diarrhea or constipation).
Why it’s important to diagnose: IBS is a chronic condition that can affect quality of life, but it’s manageable with dietary changes and medications.
4. Hernia
Symptoms: Pain or discomfort around the navel, especially when coughing, lifting heavy objects, or straining.
Why it’s significant: A hernia happens when an organ or tissue pushes through the muscle or connective tissue, potentially leading to a more serious condition if not treated.
5. Umbilical Issues
Symptoms: Pain directly at the navel, possibly with swelling or tenderness.
Why to be cautious: Umbilical hernias or infections around the belly button can lead to localized pain. Infections may require antibiotics, while hernias may need surgery.
6. Peptic Ulcer Disease
Symptoms: Burning or dull pain in the stomach area, which can radiate around the navel. It is often worse when the stomach is empty and may improve after eating.
