Discomfort around belly button

There are many reasons for discomfort around the abdomen. For girls, it may be caused by gynecological diseases. For men, it may be a reproductive tract system disease, so we should pay enough attention to related diseases. In addition, gastrointestinal diseases can also cause discomfort around the stomach. At this time, we should pay attention to our diet, avoid spicy and greasy foods, and avoid smoking and limiting alcohol. So, what is the reason for discomfort around the belly button?

1. What causes pain around the belly button?

1. Eating habits

Nowadays, "can't live without spicy food" has become a common eating habit for many people. But in fact, people who prefer spicy, cold and raw food are more likely to experience pain around their belly button. In addition, in addition to not paying attention to diet, not paying attention to keeping the navel and surrounding areas warm on a daily basis can also cause pain around the navel.

2. Gastrointestinal lesions

Pain around the belly button may also be caused by gastrointestinal diseases. In addition to the pain symptoms during the period, it may also be accompanied by nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, acid reflux and other symptoms.

At the same time, pain around the belly button may also be due to irritable bowel syndrome. Similarly, appendicitis, colitis, and ascariasis cannot be ruled out. Further examination is still needed to obtain an accurate diagnosis.

3. Female diseases

If women often experience pain around their belly button, this should be a cause for concern. Common gynecological diseases such as adnexitis, fallopian tube obstruction and pelvic inflammatory disease can also cause pain around the belly button. If similar pain symptoms occur but are not paid attention to in time and appropriate treatment measures are not taken, the consequences can be disastrous and may even affect future fertility in severe cases.

Occasional belly button pain and abdominal pain may be caused by the abdomen getting cold while sleeping at night. You can choose to eat some hot foods to warm the stomach. If you experience long-term pain in your belly button and surrounding areas, you should consider whether you have other more serious illnesses. It is best to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to find out the cause as soon as possible to avoid missing the best treatment period for related diseases.

2. Navel Care Methods

1. Pay attention to prevent "wind"

The area around the navel is the gastrointestinal area and is easily affected by cold, so you should prevent the navel from catching cold. It is best not to wear belly-baring clothes when the weather is cool in the morning and evening, or when the temperature is low on rainy days. When wearing belly-baring clothes, do not ride too fast on a motorcycle or bicycle. When sleeping, you should cover your abdomen with a thin layer or use an umbilical cord protector.

2. Pay attention to navel hygiene

Dirt from the body can easily enter the navel and settle. Use warm water and neutral shower gel to scrub the area around the navel and the navel every day to remove dirt and prevent the growth of bacteria. But do not rub it hard to avoid hurting the skin and causing infection.

3. Prevent accidental injury to the umbilicus

The area around the navel is exposed and due to the lack of clothing protection, it is often prone to accidental injuries such as burns, abrasions, and scratches. Therefore, be careful in your daily life or work.

4. Massage your belly button

Lie on the bed with your whole body relaxed, your legs curled up, your hands together, and your palms facing your navel, but do not press down hard. With your navel as the center of the circle, gently rub your abdomen without taking your hands off the skin and without applying force. It is advisable to repeat this action for 3 to 5 minutes.

This method can protect the navel, promote blood circulation, and dredge and regulate qi. It has a good auxiliary therapeutic effect on gastrointestinal diseases and gynecological diseases.
