There are many causes of pain above the navel, and common causes include intestinal, stomach, pancreatic, and appendix causes. 1. Intestinal causes: If pain occurs a little above the navel, consider not excluding intestinal diseases. Such as duodenal ulcer, acute enteritis, functional bowel disease, intestinal torsion, intestinal perforation and so on. 2. Gastric causes: If the pain is higher above the navel, you need to consider whether it is caused by gastritis, gastric ulcer, gastric perforation, gastric cancer and other diseases. 3. Pancreatic causes: such as acute and chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer can also appear on the umbilicus pain. 4. Appendix: Early appendicitis may first manifest as pain around the umbilicus, and in the late stage, the pain will shift to the right lower abdomen. If there is persistent pain on the umbilicus, you should consult the doctor as soon as possible, complete the examination, and give appropriate treatment after clear diagnosis.
