Navel pain

The pain in the navel can occur in both the infant and the adult. The soreness of the abdomen, often, knocks a person out of balance, depriving him of rest day and night.

Determining the source of the painful manifestation is not always a simple task in view of the blurring of symptoms, when the patient himself cannot accurately describe the picture of pain. Moreover, the diagnosis of pain medication is complicated. The presence of strong, exhausting pain is a reason to use emergency medical care.

Causes of the navel pains

Such discomforts indicate the presence of a serious disease or characterize several problems at once. Before identifying the cause of pain in the navel, it is necessary to assess the general condition of the patient and analyze the symptoms expressed.

Pain syndrome may be due to unsuccessful umbilical piercing. And it does not matter if the decoration has long been removed.

In the process of pregnancy, especially if the woman bears twins or there is a hydrophobia, there is a strong stretching of the abdominal wall. This causes unwanted pain.

Finally, in a perfectly healthy body, protozoa can parasitize, causing soreness in the navel. One can become infected with worm infestations at any age.

Pain in the navel in men

The clinical symptoms of colorectal diseases are always multifaceted and often expressed rather vaguely. In the initial stages of the disease most often asymptomatic occur, after which there are mild symptoms. Along with intestinal discomforts - bloating, stool changes, discomfort in the navel area appears.

For example, cramping pain in the navel in men may mean limited narrowing of the intestine as a result of the following pathologies: 

• ulcerative colitis with the formation of scar structures; 
• Crohn's disease; 
• adhesive processes; 
• malignant neoplasms.

Megacolon or Favali-Hirschsprung disease is more common in boys. The disease is associated with the expansion of the colon, which leads to stagnation of feces. Chronic inflammation of the mucous membrane causes bloating, constipation, pain in the center of the abdomen. Due to the overcrowding of the intestine, pressing on the diaphragm, the heart and lungs rise up. Therefore, the clinical picture is supplemented by impaired breathing and cardiac activity.

More than one hundred different symptoms are attributed to chronic prostatitis, among which note the pain of the umbilical zone. Of course, other signs are also characteristic of this disease: urinary problems, sexual dysfunction, hormonal disorders.

[4]

Pain in the navel in women

The manifestation of pain in the navel in women is associated with disorders of the genitourinary sphere. Diseases causing unpleasant symptoms: 

• cystitis - an inflammatory process in the bladder; 
• endometriosis - outgrowth of the inner layer of the uterus; 
• uterine fibroma - benign tumor process; 
• cancer of the ovaries or uterus; 
• irritable bowel syndrome - impaired blood supply; 
• navel hernia.

Endometriosis is more often a congenital disease. With the onset of menstrual hormone-dependent cells divide and spread to neighboring tissues.

Pain in the navel characterizes inflammation of the pelvic organs as a result of bacterial injury or the development of tumors. When anxious symptoms appear, do not postpone the visit to the doctor to avoid serious consequences - infertility or death.

Pain in the navel of a child

The child either because of his small age cannot tell what and how he has a pain, or cannot accurately describe what is happening with him. That is why it is very difficult for doctors to establish the source of pathology.

Newborns often have colic, gaziki, intestinal blockage, which disappear on their own when they reach half a year. The baby may not be suitable lactation or mother needs to more closely monitor their diet, if the child is breastfed.

After six months, babies may develop gastroenteritis, which is accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea, fever, decreased appetite and deterioration of the general condition.

Pain in the navel in a child older than a year occurs after diseases provoked by viruses. Pain with vomiting may indicate an inguinal hernia.

The painfulness of the navel zone of preschool children causes constipation, infectious diseases of the urogenital system, food poisoning.

In primary school and teenagers, discomfort in the navel appears when: 

• gastroenteritis; 
• pneumonia; 
• viral lesions; 
• genitourinary infections; 
• intestinal disorders; 
• unhealthy diet; 
• zapore; 
• the formation of the menstrual cycle in girls.

Such a rare disease as abdominal migraine, occurs in children 1-4%. The main symptom of the disease is paroxysmal pain in the abdomen of a blurred nature or concentrated in the navel. For seizures lasting from several hours to several days, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, flatulence are characteristic. Discomforts occur independently or with a headache. For proper medical advice, a neurologist must be examined. The disease is exacerbated at least twice a year, the rest of the period passes normally.

[5]

Pain in the navel during pregnancy

A daily increase in the abdomen in the volume causes a stretching of the muscles and skin, which explains the pain in the navel during pregnancy. In the process of embryo development, the umbilical cord connects with the gate of the liver. After birth, the umbilical cord vessels are connected to the ligament of the liver, which also explains the cause of pain during pregnancy.

Waiting for a baby can darken the formation of an umbilical hernia. Some pregnant women notice an inversion of the navel out, which passes on its own after labor.

Strong manifestations of pain in the navel area with nausea, vomiting, constipation, increased gas formation and frequent pulse - symptoms of an umbilical hernia. Emerging sharply painful induction requires medical intervention.

A pain in the navel may indicate the presence of intestinal infections or an attack of acute appendicitis. In pregnant women, the symptomatology of the appendix is atypical, since it is displaced by an enlarged uterus.

Any painful manifestations in the umbilical zone should not be ignored by the expectant mother and gynecologist.

[6]

Symptoms of the navel pains

Chronic enteritis is described by dull, unsharp, aching pain, worse after eating. The pain causes inflammation and changes in the mucous membrane of the small intestine. To provoke a disease can viruses, bacteria or parasites. The chronic course of enteritis occurs with rumbling, abdominal distension, arching and painful sensation in the navel.

Symptoms of pain in the navel of a sudden and sharp type are inherent in appendicitis. The pain syndrome, as a rule, shifts to the right and proceeds with nausea, single vomiting, fever and an increase in heart rate.

Severe pain combined with bloating and constipation may be a symptom of an umbilical hernia. The disease is no less dangerous than an attack of appendicitis, requires surgical intervention.

Only incipient diseases can not detect themselves in any way; therefore, powerful painful attacks are signals of chronic, neglected processes.

Pain in the navel

Pain in the navel is disturbed for various reasons, which include: 

• diseases of the small intestine of various etiologies; 
• chronic enteritis in the acute stage - pathological changes in the mucous membrane due to previously transferred intestinal infections or giardiasis; 
• appendix - an acute disease of the abdominal cavity, requiring surgical intervention; 
• hernia in the navel; 
• cancer processes around the umbilical zone; 
• diverticulitis - protrusion of the mucous membrane of the small intestine through the muscle layer; 
• torsion of the small intestine (obstruction); 
• circulatory problems associated with aortic aneurysm in the peritoneum; 
• abdominal migraine, more common in children.

Diseases of any organ of the peritoneum can respond unpleasant sensations in the navel. Therefore, if the pain in the navel is intolerable, cutting nature - call an ambulance.

[7]

Pain around navel

If you note pain around the navel, then the reasons may be the following: 

• intestinal colic - muscle spasm as a result of problems with the stool or digestion, the presence of dysbiosis; 
• umbilical hernia / intervertebral hernia; 
• The promotion of kidney / gallbladder stones is a very strong pain syndrome, from which they often lose consciousness.

A peptic ulcer of the small or large intestine can also cause sharp, intolerable sensations. Initially, pain is localized around the navel, as the disease progresses, the painful area extends to the entire abdomen.

Pain below navel

The pain below the navel is manifested in such diseases: 

• incarcerated hernia - accompanied by acute pain, the skin over the hernia is blue; 
• peritonitis (inflammatory process in the peritoneum) - manifested by “dagger” pain; 
• colon diverticulosis - characterized by sacciform branches of the intestinal wall. The pains are varied in manifestation and intensity; 
• acute pyelonephritis - symptoms depend on the degree of impairment of urinary function; 
• the presence of stones in the bladder; 
• urinary retention condition.

Localization of pain below the umbilical zone may be a sign of appendicitis, diseases of the colon or pelvic organs (depending on the patient's sex).

Pain below the navel in men

Diseases of the rectum cause pain below the navel in men.

Pain below the navel on the left

Irritable bowel syndrome, also known as spastic colon or nerve stomach, is characterized by pain below the navel on the left.

This pathology is inherent in more than the female half of the population of the age group from 20 to 40 years. The disease is based on two mechanisms: psychosocial exposure and sensomotor dysfunction (changes in visceral sensitivity with intestinal motor activity). According to the prevalence of the leading symptom, there are three types of the disease: 

• severe pain and flatulence; 
• diarrhea; 
• constipation.

In the process of diagnosis should exclude the systematic effects of such factors as diet or drugs. Products-irritants are considered - coffee, activating gas formation drinks and food, changes in diet during travel.

Pain occurs, as a rule, in the daytime and subside at night. Feelings are different in nature from the oppressive, arching, dull feeling to the strongest cramping. Pain syndrome decreases after stool and gas discharge.

[8]

Pain below the navel on the right

In the right lower quadrant of the abdomen is the appendix, intestine and ureters. Women in this area are the ovaries and fallopian tubes.

If the pain below the navel on the right when pressed with a finger does not go away within 12 hours, surely it is appendicitis. Irritation or bowel disease, herpes zoster, as well as squeezing of nerve endings coming from the spinal column, cause similar pain.

Pains below the umbilical zone on the right can be triggered by an ectopic pregnancy.

The cause of pain can be infectious diseases - gonorrhea, chlamydia.

Formation of cysts, tumors in the pelvic organs are accompanied by chronic pain.

Pain under the navel

In women, pain under the navel is often gynecological in nature. Such discomforts may be associated with diseases of the bladder, colitis, dysbacteriosis.

Pain near navel

The pain near the navel indicates enzyme deficiency. Undigested food causes fermentation and irritation of the small intestinal mucosa. Unpleasant sensations appear after taking the bean, a large amount of sweet. Marked flatulence.

Sudden, sharp and severe pains in the immediate vicinity of the navel are symptoms of intestinal colic. The reason may be the consumption of foods rich in fiber, the use of strong coffee, as well as chocolate. The process is often accompanied by chills, a weak state.

Soreness near the navel is caused by worms. An exact diagnosis can be made by a doctor on the basis of an examination and research results.

Pain near the navel on the left

The pain near the navel on the left is the result of the abuse of teas for weight loss or infection with helminthic invasions. In parallel, there is a change in stool.

Symptoms with temperature, weakness and nausea can be caused by indigestion or poisoning. In order to remove intoxication, it is recommended to take activated carbon, smect. Should drink plenty of water. Preferably decoctions of herbs antiseptic astringent action.

The area from the navel on the left responds to painfulness with renal problems, diseases of the pancreas.

Pain above navel

Mandatory consultation of a gastroenterologist is necessary if Pain is above the navel of a protracted nature. The following reasons may cause it: 

• gastritis - an inflammatory disease of the gastric mucosa; 
• peptic ulcer or intestinal 12p; 
• stomach cancer.

For the course of gastritis, peptic ulcer are inherent dull or sharp pain, arching or aching type. The moment of increasing pain syndrome is often accompanied by vomiting, bringing temporary relief. Symptomatology becomes brighter after ingesting sharp, sour dishes, coffee-containing beverages. The disease is exacerbated by stress. In the event of vomiting with blood content, you should immediately call a doctor.

Pain just above the navel

Gastric problems - gastritis, ulcers, increased acidity lead to the appearance of pain just above the navel. Prolonged pain syndrome in this area indicates diseases of the intestinal 12p, pancreas, or gallbladder.

Pain around navel

The pain around the navel is most unpleasant, foreshadowing a serious illness.

Often manifested in school and adolescence abdominal migraine, can occur in adults. Pain diffuse or localized in the area of the navel is characterized by intensity. The disease occurs with severe symptoms: 

• nausea; 
• vomiting; 
• diarrhea; 
• pale and cold limbs.

The duration of the attacks is divided into short (several hours) and long (several days). A painful condition can occur on the background of a migraine or after a headache attack.

Inversion of the small intestine causes pain around the umbilical zone. The disease begins acutely and is accompanied by unbearable sensations, nausea, vomiting, delayed stools and gas. Vomiting is permanent and does not alleviate the patient's condition.

Pain near navel left

To cause pain near the navel on the left can:

• irritation of the gastric mucosa - aching, sharp pains with nausea, vomiting. Unpleasant symptoms appear after drinking, a certain type of food, the systematic use of aspirin;
• hernia - pain may be given to the chest; 
• lesions of the pancreas - the localization of pain can also be right and in the middle; 
• gallbladder; 
• diseases of the lungs - when you inhale felt pain in the abdomen, if irritation stung the diaphragm.

At risk for diseases of the gallbladder and pancreas are malignant smokers, lovers of alcohol, diabetics and abusing steroid hormones and diuretic drugs.

Pain to the right of the navel

The pain to the right of the navel can be caused by: 

• liver disease - as a result of infection with parasites, inflammatory or infectious lesions. The liver is an organ sensitive to drugs, alcohol abuse, stress, and physical overload; 
• poor functioning of the gallbladder due to stones or abnormalities in the liver. The blockage of the bile duct often provokes jaundice; 
• pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer; 
• bulging of the intestinal wall (diverticulitis); 
• any form of colitis; 
• renal pathology.

Pain to the right navel

Appendicitis, dysfunction of the urogenital system, disorders in the intestinal section, problems with the right kidney - all these causes pain to the right of the navel.

Pain to the left of the navel

The pain to the left of the navel is a manifestation of diseases of the spleen, stomach, intestinal loops, pancreas.

Close to the surface of the body, the spleen painfully reacts even to slight pressure during the pathological process. An increase in body size may cause it to rupture due to a slight pressure. Therefore, the doctor should be extremely careful with palpation, and the patient with infectious mononucleosis should refrain from active sports. The rupture of the spleen is accompanied by a bluish color of the skin around the navel.

Soreness on the left provokes accumulation of gas in the intestines, gastritis, diaphragmatic hernia.

Intoxication or pancreatic cancer is also fraught with unpleasant symptoms to the left of the navel.

[9]

Pain to the left of the navel

A strong, extending to the left side of the chest, kidney, heart zone, lower back, pain to the left of the navel is characteristic of acute pancreatitis.

Navel level pain

The abdominal cavity contains lymph nodes that perform a protective function, veins, arteries and vital organs. Irritation of nerve endings occurs during the inflammatory process, swelling or other violation of the internal organ of the peritoneum.

Any of the diseases listed below can cause pain at the navel level: 

• stretching of the liver capsule during excessive exercise; 
• liver diseases - hepatitis, tumor processes, cirrhosis, etc.; 
• gall bladder problems (eg, stones); 
• acute or chronic pancreatitis; 
• adhesions in the peritoneum - the formation of scars from dense connective tissue that cause pain with excessive stretching of the tissue; 
• the presence of parasites; 
• infectious lesions - typhoid, cholera, dysentery, which contribute to an increase in lymph nodes and pain at the navel; 
• cancer; 
• inflammation of the sciatic nerve, lumbar osteochondrosis.

[10]

Pain in navel when pressed

Pain in the navel when pressed may be caused by the following factors: 

• omfalit; 
• umbilical fistula.

Omphalitis or inflammation of the tissues in the umbilical zone is more common in newborns. In adults, non-compliance with the rules of personal hygiene, unqualified piercing leads to the disease. Navel injury contributes to the penetration of pathogens through damaged skin.

The disease proceeds with redness, swelling of the navel zone with ulcers and purulent discharge. There are simple, phlegmonous and necrotic form of the disease. In the last two stages of development, the infection is spread to the vessels and neighboring tissues.

Most often, congenital pathology - navel fistula - is caused by the abnormal development of the yolk and urinary processes. Acquired form of the disease is possible as a result of prolonged inflammation of the peritoneal wall.

Navel soreness when pressed may appear when a hernia develops or the umbilical ring expands.

Pain gives to the navel

The appendix of the cecum or appendix is capable of causing trouble at any age due to inflammation. The first manifestations of the disease are easily confused with gastrointestinal problems. Therefore, it is important to be able to independently identify the problem in the process of its development.

Attack of appendicitis may resemble the usual poisoning or acute enterocolitis. However, there are symptoms that distinguish inflammation of the appendix from other problems: 

• sharp, aching, often vague nature of pain with localization in the navel zone indicate an acute course of the disease; 
• less pronounced soreness with increased coughing and sneezing; 
• expressed tension muscle of the abdomen; 
• associated symptoms - nausea, vomiting; 
• a rise in temperature is characteristic of a purulent process.

Self-diagnosis using Shchetkin-Blumberg technique: lying on your back (legs straightened), press below the navel, then sharply tear off your arm. If the pain gives to the navel, groin or side, then do not miss the time and go to the hospital.

[11]

Pain inside navel

Localization of pain in one place may indicate a variety of diseases. Pain inside the navel is a symptom: 

• acute appendicitis - an attack begins suddenly with acute pain that covers the entire abdomen, then concentrates in the navel and is located on the right; 
• enteritis in the chronic stage - aching pain exacerbates food intake; 
• diverticulitis (bulging of the intestinal wall) - the disease is associated with prolonged constipation. Pain and inflammation occur only in the period of exacerbation; 
• umbilical hernia - a characteristic protrusion is formed in the navel area; 
• torsion in the small intestine - most often noted in newborn girls; 
• abdominal migraine - an attack of pain is accompanied by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, photophobia and blanching.

Types of pain in the navel

Pain in the navel varies in nature, intensity and duration. The course of the same disease in patients may be different. The picture of the pain syndrome varies from a barely noticeable discomfort to an unbearable state that makes a person scream. Unpleasant sensations can be vague, blurred, when the patient himself is not able to accurately describe what is happening.

Doctors distinguish psychogenic types of pain, when a person subconsciously provokes the appearance of unpleasant symptoms or pain associated with mental stress, stressful effects. For example, a child who does not want to go to school can cause intestinal cramps, nausea, and even vomiting.

There are the following types of pain in the navel: 

• visceral - associated with spasms / sprains in the internal organs, which is irritating to the nerve endings; 
• somatic (peritoneal) is the result of peritoneal irritation, when due to pathologies the spinal nerves in the abdominal region are irritated.

Visceral manifestations are characterized by colic in the liver, kidneys, intestines, etc. In intensity, such pains have a diffuse, dull character with localization in a particular organ, more often in the midline of the abdomen. The transfer of pain is possible in any parts of the body.

Somatic pains are constant with tension of the muscles of the peritoneum, of a sharp / cutting nature, forcing the patient to take a fixed state.

Sharp pain in navel

A sudden sharp pain in the navel with increasing intensity can speak about appendicitis. The disease is characterized by a shift in pain to the right, nausea, and vomiting. Soreness may subside, but not completely pass. Symptoms are aggravated by pressing with a sharp removal of the hand from the abdomen, as well as during walking.

Sharp pain syndrome characterizes pinching of the umbilical hernia. The process is often combined with nausea, bloating, vomiting, constipation. In the area of the navel, an oval or rounded neoplasm is palpable, which is painful and does not reset. A strangulated hernia, like appendicitis, requires surgery. Guided hernia is equally painful.

A sharp pain in the navel, extending to the back, with frequent urination needs - a sign of the promotion of kidney stones. Intestinal colic is characterized by sharpness and suddenness of appearance, especially after overeating, an abundance of fatty foods.

Navel cutting pain

The sensation of pain in the navel can indicate a number of serious diseases. Cutting pain in the navel is a symptom of acute appendicitis or pancreatitis. In the event of an acute exacerbation of pancreatitis, the sore throat is given in the back, able to assume a shingles character. Inflammatory processes in the pancreas are often accompanied by swelling, tension of the peritoneal wall. Appendicitis and pancreatitis often occur with nausea and vomiting.

In gastritis, a cutting feeling is noted after eating with a feeling of heaviness, belching and a decrease in appetite. Symptomatology on the background of diarrhea is characteristic of an acute infectious process.

Rezi often disturb patients with cholecystitis. In women, such unpleasant symptoms are found in genital pathologies. Any abnormalities in the digestive tract can also cause severe, cutting discomforts.

[12]

Acute pain in the navel

Acute pain in the navel indicates a gallbladder problem, an intestinal ulcer.

Pain, as if struck with a dagger, describes acute gastric ulcers / 12p, leading to ulcer perforation. It is inherent in a life-threatening condition that the contents of the stomach / 12p gut are poured into the peritoneal cavity. The patient has to constrain his movements, fixing the position of the body with less pain, limiting respiratory activity. The abdomen does not take part in the process of breathing, its muscles are in tension. Often the pulse slows down, the skin becomes pale, cold sweat appears.

Acute pain in the navel is characteristic of chronic processes - enteritis, colitis, gastritis, peptic ulcer, intestinal obstruction.

Pulling pain in navel

A gestation period with intense growth of the abdomen can occur with discomfort. A pulling pain in the navel is not necessarily an alarm, but a normal process of stretching the abdominal wall.

Painful sensations of the navel and lower abdomen are indicative of diseases of the urinary or genital female sphere.

Discomfort of the pulling type speak about problems of the gastrointestinal tract, which include intestinal obstruction, motor dysfunction. Pain in the intestine depends on the degree of spasm and pressure from accumulated gases.

[13]

Aching pain in navel

Stretching of the intestinal walls by accumulated gases in case of obstruction or flatulence lead to pains of the aching type. Obstruction causes tumor diseases, torsion of intestines, the occurrence of nodes. These ailments are accompanied by a long lasting pain syndrome.

In chronic enteritis (dystrophy and inflammatory disease of the mucous membrane of the small intestine) there is a aching pain in the navel of a not sharp nature, accompanied by rumbling, bloating. The disease proceeds with dry skin, brittle nails and bleeding gums.

The aching pains are more often of a permanent nature, aggravated by coughing.

Piercing pain in navel

A pricking pain in the navel occurs in case of exacerbation of chronic duodenitis, intestinal ulcer and 12p intestine.

Duodenitis (inflammatory process in the intestinal 12p mucosa) is one of the most common diseases to which men are more susceptible. Chronic duodenitis is ulcerative and cholecystoid forms. In the first case, belching and heartburn are added to the symptoms. There are changes in appetite: the absence, the terrible hunger. Sometimes there is pain behind the sternum, disorders of swallowing, headache. The disease can occur in chronic gastritis, enteritis, ulcers and pancreatitis.

[14]

Severe pain in the navel

The development of an umbilical hernia is determined by such symptoms as nausea, vomiting, delayed stool and gas, and a frequent pulse. The condition is characterized by severe pain in the navel.

The clinical picture of small intestine twisting occurs on the background of a sharp and severe pain. Patients report stool retention and gas retention. The first watch can characterize cramping pains.

Severe pain in the navel zone is also characteristic of obstruction, inflammation of the sigmoid colon, cancer, appendicitis.

Ache in the navel

Limited narrowing of the intestine as a result of a number of pathological changes (ulcerative colitis with cicatricial strictures, Crohn's disease, adhesions / tumor processes) are inherent in the pain in the navel. Such painful manifestations also accompany intestinal dyskinesia with a predominance of the spastic component.

Cramping pain with moments of subsiding is a common occurrence for colic that develops when diet is not followed or shaking while riding. The cause of biliary colic can be biliary dyskinesia, cholelithiasis. Worms, abscesses of the liver, an impulse of a cyst can also serve as provocateurs. Intestinal colic is the result of inflammatory processes in the intestines, obstruction, irritable bowel problems and other pathologies.

Pulsating pains in the navel

Patients with pancreatitis note pulsating pains in the navel, often of the shingles type. The process is accompanied by a state of nausea, vomiting of bile, diarrhea and bloating observed.

Throbbing, rhythmic pain occurs when the pressure of hollow organs increases. For example, irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by a slow and rapid alternate contraction of the intestinal wall. This condition can cause throbbing pain.

Pulsation also corresponds to purulent, neoplastic masses of the umbilical zone.

[15], [16]

Diagnostics of the navel pains

Assessment of the patient’s general condition and pain is important during the examination. It is required to identify the intensity and, if possible, localization of pain. Palpation is performed in the position of the patient lying on his back.

The diagnosis of pain in the navel includes: 

• blood test - common and biochemistry; 
• studies on antibodies to helicobacter; 
• Ultrasound of the peritoneal organs, small pelvis and kidneys; 
• colonoscopy - examination of the large intestine for the presence of polyps, flat formations that can develop into cancer; 
• identification of viral hepatitis markers; 
• detection of dysbacteriosis (feces analysis); 
• X-ray examination of the gastrointestinal tract.

[17]

Treatment of the navel pains

The pains of the navel area of unknown origin should not be muffled with anesthetics that lubricate the clinical picture and make it difficult to diagnose. A doctor who does not detect an acute disease (appendicitis, mesenteric thrombosis) will not be able to detect another disease.

A strong, long-lasting painful condition is a reason to go to a doctor. Treatment of pain in the navel is carried out on the basis of a medical examination, individually in each case. Specialists who should consult with pain in the navel: a gastroenterologist and an oncologist.

Naturally there are diseases that require emergency surgery - acute appendicitis, peritonitis, strangulated hernia and others.

Since pain is not recommended to be removed with painkillers, ice will help relieve the condition before the doctor arrives.

Prevention

Prevention of pain in the navel is, above all, timely detection, if necessary, treatment of diseases of the internal organs of the peritoneum. To avoid exacerbation, the development of chronic diseases should be screened at least once a year. It is known that many serious diseases in the early stages can occur without severe symptoms.

Natural preventive measures include moderate, balanced diet, limiting alcohol consumption, the balance of psycho-emotional state. It is very important not to succumb to stressful situations, as spasms of internal organs often arise precisely because of emotional overstrain.

The ability to enjoy and enjoy life, in harmony with oneself and the world around them, can relieve from the terrible consequences and prevent pain in the navel.
