The hypogastrium is the section of the abdomen that is generally below the navel, or belly button. It normally comprises body parts between the navel and the pubic bone. Parts of the colon, the urinary tract, reproductive system, and several major blood vessels are typically located in the region as well. Lower sections of the spine are situated in the hypogastrium, while sometimes a kidney or the appendix, if it is in the pelvis, may be found there. Physicians often refer to the region when diagnosing diseases and conditions of associated organs.

The abdomen is that part of the torso which lies between the diaphragm and the pelvis. It is commonly referred to as the stomach, belly or "tummy." Inside the abdominal cavity are a number of important organs, including the liver, pancreas, spleen and kidneys. A large part of the digestive tract is also found there, including the stomach, and the small and large intestine. The aorta, a major artery, runs vertically through the abdominal cavity.
