Beautiful belly button Girls like a good-looking belly button, so that the summer wear revealing clothes or swimming in a bikini is beautiful. But once this location is infected and inflamed or even abscessed, it’s not a matter of looking good, it’s a matter of suffering. The belly button is a relic left after the birth of the mother’s fetus, after the umbilical cord is cut off and gradually fall off, the umbilicus closed, forming a mild concave “depression”, the shape of each person is also slightly different, some people flat some shallow, some people concave some deeper, some of them also form some folds. Belly button should not be washed? This is a problem Many people from the older generation to get the knowledge is that the navel can not just wash, wash after the cold will get sick, etc.. So we will see some people have “incense” in the umbilicus (photo), a soybean or even peanut-sized black particles, which is the belly button for decades without cleaning the dirty deposits and the formation of the umbilicus, basically occurs in the umbilicus is relatively deep people, “incense The bottom of the “sinker” often has adhesions with the skin at the bottom of the umbilicus. Now more and more laparoscopic surgery, the umbilicus is very often the first choice for drilling, so health care workers sometimes become clean up “incense” people, some hard sticky firm “incense” often have to use turpentine, paraffin oil moistened and then wiped for four or five minutes to Clear off, only so that the navel can be disinfected clean, otherwise “millennium incense” in a large number of bacteria harbored to the stomach is a great thing. Not cleaned into a dry and hard “incense” or more fortunate results, if the local water becomes wet encounter friction extrusion skin breakage, “incense” in the Millennium Laojun (bacteria) will take advantage of the situation, so the umbilical infection is umbilical infection will occur. The main manifestation of the infection is the umbilicus redness, pain, pus, etc., if the acute period is not well treated sometimes also become chronic umbilicus. You should know by now that the belly button should be cleaned. How to wash the belly button is another problem For people with shallow and flat umbilicus, cleaning is easy; but for deep and wrinkled, this is a technical task. Some people love cleanliness, bathing belly button hollowed out and hollowed out, sometimes the belly button hollowed out are red before they are willing to stop, do not know that excessive cleaning will make the skin surface damage, if not completely dry, bacteria may be in the deep concave damp folds multiply, and then through the broken skin into the organism lead to umbilicus. Therefore, the umbilicus only needs to be properly cleaned, apply a little soap and come gently with your fingertips, don’t feel good about repeatedly pulling it out. What should I do if I already have an infection and have umbiliculitis? Umbilical cord infection is usually not a serious disease, but it can be a problem once it is infected. Most of the infections occur in the deep and crepey umbilicus, and bacteria settle in the folds, making it difficult to get rid of the dirty stuff, so it is difficult to get better and the treatment time is often not short. The first step in treatment is to keep the area dry, soak a cotton swab with antiseptic solution and gently wipe the umbilicus including the folds, wait a few minutes for the area to dry and then apply some antibiotic ointment such as Bactrim, most mild cases of umbilicus will improve within one to two weeks. Some heavy, the formation of abscesses, or has spread to the periphery and deep tissue below, you need to add oral or intravenous antibiotics, a few serious formation of abscesses also need to cut a knife to release pus, beautiful belly button and you say goodbye to L (picture) of course, do not cut a knife for the sake of beauty, because if the formation of an abscess is not cut and drained, the infection will then spread down into the abdominal cavity causing peritonitis, or It is not worth it to lose your life for a small belly button infection. Therefore, there are very few patients with umbilical cord infection who need umbilical cord removal surgery to resolve the infection. What are the other causes of umbilical cord infection? Umbilical cord infection is not easy to get rid of, there are some other reasons besides the localized infection caused by the breakage mentioned earlier. Especially if the umbilical cord infection does not get better or recurs, you should be careful. As mentioned at the beginning, the belly button is the heritage of every person from the mother’s womb, and it is the link that sustains the life of the fetus before the person is born, while there are some other embryonic developmental structures next to the umbilicus. For example, below the umbilicus there is the yolk duct, which is connected to the intestinal canal in the embryo and normally becomes completely atreticulated and gradually disappears in the late fetal stage. The human bladder actually descends from the umbilical port to the back of the pubic bone and forms an umbilical urethra on the way down. If the umbilical urethra is not closed, a small amount of urine will flow from it, and sometimes umbiliculitis can occur secondary to infection. These congenital disorders require surgical treatment. In addition, some tumors in the abdominal cavity can metastasize to the umbilical canal, such as stomach cancer, intestinal cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, and so on. If there are localized hard nodes and infection after breaking down, we should be concerned about the metastasis of tumors in the abdominal cavity. In addition, umbilical infection in newborns is basically caused by umbilical cord infection, so I won’t go into details here. Do you think there are many reasons why a small belly button can become infected and inflammation is not a good idea? In fact, the vast majority of umbilical infections are the result of poor hygiene, and the other causes written in the last paragraph are rare cases. So ah, want to have a beautiful and healthy belly button or do a good job of personal hygiene!
