I am experiencing what may be a navel displacement, as I have pain in my belly and my digestive system is not functioning correctly. I went to the doctor, who gave me medicines and did some tests, but everything came back normal. Still, I feel pain and indigestion. I also notice a pulse just an inch above my belly button. What should I do?

Navel displacement is not a medical diagnosis but may indicate abdominal wall strain, hernia, or muscle imbalance. A visible pulse near the belly button is usually normal (aorta) but may need USG to rule out abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) if prominent. Persistent indigestion and pain suggest gastritis or functional dyspepsia. Consider posture, diet, and stress as contributing factors. Seek gastroenterologist/surgeon opinion for further evaluation.

View allMy baby was born premature and is now 4.5 months old. He is exclusively breastfed and has had loose motions for the last 10 days. For the first three days, the stools were watery. We consulted a doctor, who gave Bifilac GG twice a day and Zinc and Vitamin D 0.5 ml once daily. Now the stools are not watery but still very loose, seedy, and bubbly. Stool frequency in 24 hours is 3 to 6 times. Stool test shows pH 6 and reducing substance positive. The doctor has suggested stopping breastfeeding completely and giving lactose-free formula milk. He has no other symptoms, is active, and is gaining weight steadily. His current weight is 6.3 kg. Please suggest if breastfeeding should be stopped and what should be done regarding the loose motion?

I feel a sensation of gas formation while sitting, along with slight pain. Could this be due to hemorrhoids or a urinary infection? What tests or scans should I get to find out?

She was diagnosed with typhoid on September 1, and although her blood reports now confirm that the typhoid has been cured, she is still experiencing abdominal pain. Despite taking gastric medication, the pain continues. Please advise on what could be causing this ongoing discomfort and what further steps or tests should be considered.
