Causes of Pain 3-5 Centimeters to the Left of the Navel

Pain located 3-5 centimeters to the left of the navel may have various causes, which must be determined based on the nature of the pain, accompanying symptoms, and individual medical history. Common possibilities include:

1. Gastrointestinal issues: Such as intestinal spasms, which may result from dietary irritation or consumption of cold foods causing rapid intestinal motility. Conditions like acute enteritis, intestinal inflammation, irritable bowel syndrome, or gastrointestinal dysfunction may also cause pain in this area, often related to unhygienic eating habits or intestinal infection.

2. Urinary system diseases: Left urinary tract stones or left ureteral stones may cause referred pain in this region, often accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, or hematuria (blood in urine).

3. Gynecological conditions: Ovarian cyst torsion, ectopic pregnancy, or pelvic inflammatory disease may also cause pain on the left side of the navel, and could be associated with menstrual changes or vaginal discharge.

4. Musculoskeletal problems: Muscle strain, abdominal muscle overuse, or hernia may present as localized pain.

5. Neurological factors: Nerve pain or nerve root compression can also cause pain in specific areas.

6. Other conditions: Gastric ulcers, gastritis, cholecystitis (gallbladder inflammation), or intestinal obstruction may also lead to pain in this area. Each of these conditions has specific symptoms and treatment approaches.
