Hello,
When pressing on the abdomen above the navel, this pain can come from: Abdominal wall (muscle, fat, subcutaneous tissue, skin) or deep inside inside are the viscera in the abdomen. In this case, you should see a doctor directly so that the doctor can directly determine where the damage comes from based on the examination results.
Tests to confirm the disease such as abdominal ultrasound, gastrointestinal endoscopy may be ordered to aid in the diagnosis. If possible, you can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System to visit with specialized doctors. Thank you for submitting your question to Vinmec.
