Yes, and this problem is solved quickly, it is enough to take cotton wool with novocaine. Maybe the ear? After all, all mothers know how children suffer with sick ears. But even here the misfire, pain is quickly eliminated by medicines and the baby calms down. Well, give up? The most severe pains occur in the abdomen or in the area around the navel. And what causes them and how to deal with them, let's talk about this article.
Possible causes of pain around the navel
Abdominal pain in the navel is accompanied by a very, very many diseases, not only the gastrointestinal tract. What should I think first, if the stomach hurts in the area or around the navel?
- Intestinal colic. The causes of this syndrome may be constipation, and diarrhea, and digestive disorders, and dysbacteriosis, and much more. The abdomen around the navel in this case hurts because of spasms of the musculature of the intestine. The more it contracts, the more painful and painful it is.
- Umbilical hernia. Another reason that the abdomen hurts in the area or around the navel is the umbilical hernia. It develops most often in babies, who cry a lot and are crying heavily. And also in adults with a weak musculature of the abdominal press, who have to carry heavy burdens. By the way, in some women this misfortune occurs after severe delivery.
- Intervertebral hernia. Our spine is the receptacle of the main conductor of nerve impulses, the spinal cord. It consists of separate bones, called vertebrae. All vertebrae connect with each other with the help of small muscles and ligaments, as well as cartilaginous pads called intervertebral discs. In appearance, they resemble padding for a faucet and serve as a shock absorber for walking and other movements. But with age, and also because of wearing high-heeled shoes, childbirth, heavy bagging, but little else whatsoever, the walls of these discs become thinned and can even be torn. If this happens in the lumbar region, then there is nothing surprising that there are pains in the navel area. Because the nerves of this particular part of the spine and provide sensitivity and innervation of the abdominal cavity, in particular the small and large intestine.
- Exit the stone from the kidneys or gallbladder. This, perhaps, is the most painful condition. If the stone comes from the right kidney or gallbladder, then the abdomen hurts near the navel on the right. If this situation happens with the left kidney, the pain will be on the left. But in both cases, it is caused by the fact that the stone rips the walls of the ureters or bile ducts, which are often also spasmodic.
- Appendicitis. And, finally, if the stomach hurts near the navel on the right, the fever keeps, and the pain is not removed, appendicitis is suspected. Imagine, vermiform appendage can be quite long, abut the tip in the loops of the small intestine, so the pain is felt not in the lower abdomen on the right, but in the navel area.
The stomach or belly hurts in the field of a belly-button: what to do or make?
When the stomach hurts, in the navel or somewhere else, then joking with this and hoping "maybe in the morning will pass" can not. After all, in the abdomen are vital organs: the stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, uterus, finally. If you take your health seriously, you can greatly regret it in the future.
So, with pain in the abdomen, call an ambulance, take an anesthetic medication and lie on your back, bending your knees and hip joints, and place a high pillow under your head. The position should be such that the abdominal muscles are as relaxed as possible. Well, and on the stomach itself, put either warm, but not hot, a heating pad, or your own palm. And remember, amateur performance in such cases is not appropriate, diagnose and prescribe a treatment should the doctor.
