What's the matter with the dull pain around the belly button

Many people nowadays do not pay much attention to their own health, which always causes a series of diseases. If this is the case, it is necessary to find out the cause of the disease and solve the problem fundamentally, especially if you feel dull pain around your belly button, you must do a good job of examination and treatment. After all, this is not a single disease, but a symptom, so it is likely caused by other gastrointestinal diseases, the most common of which are appendicitis and intestinal spasm.

There are many clinical reasons that can cause pain around the belly button, such as appendicitis, colitis, ascariasis, intestinal cramps, irritable bowel syndrome, etc.

It is caused by excessive contraction of the smooth muscles of the hollow abdominal organs or stretching and expansion due to increased intracavitary pressure. Pain sensation is transmitted from visceral sensory nerve endings to spinal nerve afferent centers. Pain felt on the surface or deep inside the corresponding nerve segments when there is a disease in the abdominal organs. There is also radiating pain in distant parts of the body.

Pain that is limited to the area around the belly is more common and needs to be carefully distinguished.

Abdominal pain is one of the common clinical symptoms, which can be acute or chronic. Its etiology is complex and most of them are organic, but they can also be functional. They are mostly caused by lesions of intra-abdominal organs, but they can also be caused by lesions of extra-abdominal organs. Therefore, comprehensive considerations should be made during diagnosis, and the medical history and various examination results should be analyzed in detail.

Periumbilical pain refers to abdominal pain centered around the umbilicus. It is common in various gastrointestinal diseases and is an important sign of gastrointestinal inflammation, ulcers, and tumors.

① Participate in cultural and sports activities appropriately, actively exercise, enhance physical fitness and prevent diseases. ② Try not to eat foods that you may be intolerant to, such as shrimp, crab, milk, peanuts, etc. Spicy, frozen, greasy, raw and cold foods, as well as tobacco and alcohol should be avoided. At the same time, avoid intestinal irritation caused by laxatives and physical and chemical factors. Eat a regular amount, don’t be too hungry or too full, and develop good living habits. ③This disease often occurs when one is burdened with heavy thoughts, is emotionally tense, anxious, angry, depressed, etc. Therefore, avoiding mental stimulation, relieving tension and maintaining an optimistic attitude are the keys to preventing this disease.

indigestion

Indigestion can cause pain, burning, or discomfort in the upper abdomen that radiates to the area around the navel. According to US research data, three-quarters of patients seeking medical attention are diagnosed with functional dyspepsia. Functional dyspepsia causes pain in the upper stomach that radiates to the navel. The treatment is mainly symptomatic, following the principles of comprehensive treatment and individualized treatment. The main therapeutic drugs used are:

1) Drugs that inhibit gastric acid secretion are generally used for patients with upper abdominal pain as the main symptom. H2 receptor antagonists or proton pump inhibitors can be used selectively.

2) Gastrointestinal prokinetic drugs are generally suitable for patients whose main symptoms are upper abdominal distension, early satiety, and belching. Selectively take domperidone, itopride, etc.

3) Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy may be effective for a small number of patients with functional dyspepsia infected with Helicobacter pylori, and can be tried for those with severe symptoms.
