Medically speaking the organs above the navel are the same for both men and women, but because there are many organs in the area above the navel, there are a number of etiologic factors that may cause a painful sensation above the navel. First, the most common digestive diseases, such as gastroenteritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, Crohn’s disease, colitis and other diseases. Secondly, there is the Helicobacter pylori infection, which may also trigger epigastric pain. Apart from the digestive system, if there are organic lesions in the liver and kidneys, the same may cause epigastric pain. Finally, if there is an umbilical infection, the same may cause pain around the navel. Therefore, it is difficult to directly determine the symptoms of pain above the navel. It is recommended that if such a situation occurs, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time for diagnosis, and according to the specific results of the examination for the next step of treatment.
