Why does a pregnant woman feel pain in her belly button?

Pregnant women are a special group of people. Generally, a series of changes will occur in women's bodies when they are pregnant, and they may also encounter different problems. Many pregnant women will experience pain in their belly button. Once this happens, the pregnant women and their families will always be particularly worried, fearing that it will endanger the health of the fetus. Many pregnant women don’t quite understand the reasons for the pain in their belly buttons. Let’s take a look at it below!

Clinically, the causes of belly button pain in pregnant women 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.

Through the introduction above, I believe everyone has a detailed understanding of belly button pain in pregnant women. In fact, pregnant women do not need to be too anxious when such a phenomenon occurs. Being too anxious is not good for the pregnant women themselves. If the situation is more serious, you can go to the hospital for examination accompanied by your family. This will also make the pregnant women feel at ease and relax.
