What causes belly button pain during pregnancy?

We all know that conceiving a baby is a rather difficult thing for a mother. From the day of pregnancy, the body will undergo great changes, the body constitution will become weaker and weaker, and some symptoms will be particularly prone to occur. Many people will also have symptoms of belly button pain during pregnancy, which often makes many expectant mothers particularly worried and concerned. Let's understand what causes belly button pain during pregnancy.

Clinically, the causes of belly button pain during pregnancy include appendicitis, colitis, ascariasis, intestinal spasm, gastric ulcer, intussusception, etc. Based on clinical experience, most patients suffer from irritable bowel syndrome and enteritis, which is commonly known as gastrointestinal dysfunction. To get a clear diagnosis, you need to go to the hospital for examinations, such as routine blood tests, routine stool tests, and gastric, colonoscopy or barium meal examinations. If there are no other organic diseases, it is urgent to improve gastrointestinal resistance.

Irritable bowel syndrome is a disease of gastrointestinal motility disorder, also known as "allergic colitis". The main symptoms are recurrent abdominal pain, which may be located around the navel or in the left lower abdomen, and alternating constipation and diarrhea may occur. Most of the time, the abdominal pain worsens before defecation and eases after defecation. Each bowel movement is small in volume and often contains mucus in a jelly-like state. This disease is often caused by mental factors, dietary discomfort or inability to adapt to the external environment.

Common causes of irritable bowel syndrome are mostly related to diet, cold abdomen, etc., such as raw, cold, indigestible and spicy foods.

Children are still growing and developing, their immune systems are not yet complete, and they are easily affected by the environment, which can lead to irritable bowel syndrome. To this end, you can use some folk remedies, such as sticking ginger slices on your navel, or using a baby navel patch. Even if these methods don't work, they won't have any impact on the child. Secondly, pay attention to your child’s diet. Do not give your child raw, cold, greasy, fishy or spicy food, and do not give your child any snacks. Educate your children to have regular meals three times a day, and make sure all food, including fruits, are cooked before eating. It is best not to choose yogurt instead of milk. And it has to be heated before giving it to children. Of course, these also apply to adults and the elderly. It is best to do some gastrointestinal care in daily life. It is recommended to take some gastrointestinal health products to enhance gastric motility and protect gastric mucosa, which can effectively avoid irritable bowel syndrome.

Ascariasis:

Ascariasis usually occurs in children. Common symptoms include sunken pain around the umbilicus, loss of appetite, hunger, diarrhea, constipation, urticaria, etc. Children may also experience drooling, teeth grinding, irritability, etc. In severe cases, malnutrition may occur. Once the parasitic environment changes, such as high fever, the roundworms can twist into a ball in the intestinal cavity, blocking the intestinal cavity and forming roundworm intestinal obstruction. The patient will experience severe paroxysmal abdominal cramps, especially in the umbilicus, accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and the roundworms may be vomited out. The pain lasts for several minutes each time and may occur every other day or several times a day.

In this case, it is recommended to carry out anthelmintic treatment. You can take intestinal worm clearing orally, preferably before going to bed at night. If it is caused by roundworms, the abdominal pain will be significantly relieved or disappear as long as the worms are dewormed.

Chronic enteritis:

Chronic enteritis is mostly developed from incomplete treatment of acute enteritis, which can cause frequent pain around the umbilicus or lower abdomen, but the pain is not severe and there may be no diarrhea. There is often abdominal tension, difficulty in defecation (the number of bowel movements may increase), and pain before and after defecation. Sometimes it is also accompanied by loss of appetite, abdominal distension, fatigue, etc.

Gastric ulcer:

The pain of gastric ulcer is most common in the area around the navel and below the sternum, often accompanied by belching or acid reflux, repeated vomiting, poor appetite, aggravated abdominal pain after eating, and sometimes vomiting blood or bloody stools. Gastric ulcers in children are mainly related to children's picky eating, uneven hunger and fullness during the three meals, and improper balance of hot and cold foods.

Gynecological diseases:

If you encounter pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, fallopian tube obstruction, etc., you may also consider that the appendix may cause pain around the navel. At this time, it is recommended that women go to a professional hospital for a detailed gynecological examination. In daily life, you should pay more attention to various hygiene, eat more fruits and vegetables, and it is best to keep your diet light.

However, during pregnancy, due to changes in physical constitution, various diseases and problems will always occur in the body, which often makes pregnant women and their families particularly worried and concerned. If you experience belly button pain during pregnancy, you must consult a doctor in time.
