I remember when I was a child. My parents told me from an early age not to dig your navel, which would be bad and might seriously rot your intestines.
I believe that many people were "educated" in this way when they were young, but they didn't even dare to touch it.
But when people grow up, there will always be a rebellious period, that is, they are fearless, and sometimes they can't bear to pick and wash, feeling nothing.
Now that I am a doctor, I know the ins and outs of this belly button. It turns out that "education" is a misunderstanding. What navel is so deep, with copper coins and tiles, and the navel is so ugly? It must be that some doctor is not skilled, and he can't wash his belly button or pick it. It's all a lie
So, how did the real belly button come from? Why do some people stink?
First of all, the navel is really important before we are born. Together with the umbilical cord, it closely connects your liver with your mother's placenta. Through it, you can get the nutrition you need for development and discharge the waste you metabolize!
But when you are born, after being cut short and ligated by the doctor, the mission of navel is over, and it has no special physiological function except to help us distinguish between before and after. But the navel is indeed the weakest position in our abdomen, and some patients with liver cirrhosis will have some navel symptoms clinically!
Secondly, some people with belly buttons are really ugly, and many of them are found ugly clinically, but this has nothing to do with the poor skills of doctors. No matter which ligation method is used by any doctor, our umbilical cord will go through a process of falling off, necrosis and depression.
Whether this shape is good or not depends on our physical condition as a child, whether there is local infection in adulthood, and the thickness of subcutaneous fat, which basically depends on luck! Like a person with a flat belly, the navel is often very shallow; Most obese people have a "deep pit" because of their thick fat. Do you mean that people who exercise must be poorer than obese people? It must be a lie!
Finally, about why some people's belly buttons stink, it really has something to do with us not washing them at all, for fear of being picked up!
As soon as you look at this navel structure, you will understand that it is too easy to hide evil and shelter evil, which is basically a mixture of good and evil people such as cells, sweat and dust that fall off our skin. But under normal circumstances, it will not stink because of this mixture, but it is more likely to cause bacterial infection and inflammation around the navel if it is not cleaned for a long time, especially when there is a hole in the local skin, suffocation may stink!
Therefore, it is right to clean the belly button regularly, but it is best not to dig it, not to say that it will be broken if you dig it, but it will be fine if you dig it gently, but if you dig it vigorously for a long time, because it still has visceral nerve reflex, it may not only be broken, but also symptoms of digestive tract discomfort!
Therefore, the best way to treat all our belly buttons is to wash them clean, choose some cotton swabs and wipe them clean with some water. Be careful not to push too hard!
Why does belly button stink?
Some friends' belly buttons will have a foul smell inexplicably, which makes people feel uncomfortable, but I don't know what caused it. Today, I will explain to you: "Why is there a bad smell in the belly button?"
1. Caused by omphalitis:
Umbilitis is caused by bacterial infection in the large intestine and problems of urachal and umbilicus. That is, what we usually call umbilical intestinal fistula and urachal fistula. After getting omphalitis, the navel wheel is red and swollen, and purulent secretions will flow out from the navel, giving off a stench. At this time, we should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
2. Reasons for sweating:
Because of the special structure of navel, it is concave and convex, and it is easy to retain dirt. Secondly, there are many sweat glands around the navel, plus sweating at ordinary times, especially in summer. Without air conditioning, you will sweat when you move. Sweat mixed with this kind of dirt will naturally give off a stench over time.
3. Pay attention to personal hygiene and proper cleaning.
Pay attention to personal hygiene at ordinary times, because if the navel is particularly unclean, it will cause some skin diseases. Such as sweat rash or eczema, can also give off an unpleasant smell. Therefore, in order to prevent bacterial infection, proper cleaning is needed, and cotton swabs can be dipped in clean water or medical alcohol for local cleaning. Be careful when cleaning, not too hard, because the navel is deep, the skin is thin and very fragile.
Avoid: Never dig your navel hard with your hands, which will cause inflammation.
As a gastrointestinal surgeon, I will answer this question. Do you know that we surgeons need to prepare the skin before operation and clean the patients? Generally, the night before surgery, we advise patients to take a bath and clean the places that are easy to hide evil people and shelter evil people. The navel is the most important, because many people usually don't clean the navel when taking a bath, and the navel is the lowest and most sunken place in our abdominal wall, especially for obese patients. The subcutaneous fat is thick and the navel nest is deep, which can accommodate a lot of "garbage", usually sebaceous gland secretions, sweat and so on.
If you don't clean your navel often, there will be a lot of dirty things hidden inside, and there will be a bad smell. Clinically, we also have a disease called omphalitis, which is navel inflammation. Mild patients have redness, swelling, heat and pain around the navel, and may also have systemic fever. In severe cases, local suppuration and abscess formation may occur. If there is anaerobic infection, pus can be accompanied by stench. If the infection is not controlled, navel inflammation can spread to the abdominal wall. Umbilitis needs anti-infection treatment, antibiotics, local disinfection, cleaning and regular dressing change.
In a word, the navel is a place where we hide evils and shelter evils and needs to be cleaned regularly. It is recommended to use soapy water or a less irritating shower gel. Hand buckle is not recommended. If there is something dirty, you can slowly get it out with a cotton swab.
Seeing this topic, this one knows that he is a particularly obedient child!
I remember the same thing when I was a child. When I was a child, my parents told me not to pick my navel. If I were a child, it would be damaged. It may corrode your intestines.
I believe many people have received such "education" when they were young, but they dare not even touch it.
But when people grow up, there will always be a rebellious period, and that is fearless. Sometimes it itches when I wash it, and I don't feel anything.
Now that I'm a doctor, it turns out that "educated" is a misunderstanding when I learn that Long Mai is from the navel. For example, the navel is deep, copper coins are shallow, tiles and navel are so ugly, which doctor is not skilled, the navel cannot be washed or cut, and so on. It's all a lie
So, how did the real navel come from? Why do some people stink?
First of all, the navel is very important before we are born. It connects your liver closely with your mother's placenta and umbilical cord. Through them, you can get the nutrition you need for development and discharge the waste you metabolize!
But when you were born and were cut short and ligated by the doctor, the mission of navel was over. There is no special physiological function except to help us distinguish between positive and negative aspects. However, the navel is indeed the weakest part of our abdomen. Some patients with liver cirrhosis may have symptoms of navel!
Secondly, some people's navel is really ugly, and many people are ugly in clinic. However, this has nothing to do with the low skills of doctors. No matter what ligation method the doctor gives you, our umbilical cord will go through the process of falling off, necrosis and depression.
This shape is not good, except for our physical condition as a child, there is no local infection related to the thickness of subcutaneous fat in adulthood, which basically depends on luck! For example, a person with a flat abdomen usually has a shallow navel; For obese people, most of them have a "deep hole" in their navel because of obesity. Do you think healthy people must be poorer than obese people? Must be cheating!
Finally, about why some people's navel stinks, it really has something to do with our fear of picking it up without washing it!
As long as you look at the structure of the navel, you will find that it is too easy to shelter evil people from evil. Basically, it is the product of good and evil people such as skin exfoliated cells, sweat and dust. Under normal circumstances, it will not stink because of this mixture. But if it is not cleaned for a long time, it is more likely to cause bacterial infection and inflammation around the navel, especially when there are cracks in the skin of the organ, which may stink if it is stuffy!
Therefore, the navel should be cleaned regularly, but it is best not to pick it. This does not mean that it will be damaged when picked up. If you dig for a long time, because it still has visceral nerve reflex, it may not only be caught, but also cause digestive tract discomfort!
Therefore, the best way to treat our navel is: to wash it, choose some cotton swabs dipped in some water to wipe it clean, and be careful not to use too much force!
As general surgeons, we often see "umbilical excrement" during the operation, and some of them are disgusting. Of course, we will not hesitate to wash it off with iodophor to avoid infection.
The navel is easy to hide evil and accept evil, dander falls off, sweat is secreted, and dust falls in. It will be hidden in the belly button. Usually, few people deliberately wash the belly button when taking a bath. It will naturally smell after a long time, especially when the weather is hot.
Many people worry that washing their belly buttons will make them sick, but there is no such thing. Don't buckle your belly button too violently, there will be no problem, and it will not cause other diseases.
Therefore, the belly button stinks, which is essentially a dirty belly button. Just wash it.
As a surgeon, I have always had a soft spot for the belly button, but when I saw this problem, I suddenly felt a little disgusted with what I liked before and immediately reflected. I think what I like or dislike is not the belly button, but the problems it brings.
To say why the navel stinks, we will have a little experience more or less. I remember that when I was young, I was always interested in the navel. I dug it when I was free, but it was red, swollen and painful accidentally, and then I was taught a lesson by an adult.
Old people will tell you that you can't dig your navel, but you will be beaten if you dig your navel. Later, I found that after a long time, I didn't dig my navel, and some small black pieces appeared on my navel. Just like the boss said, it smelled bad. In fact, the source of taste is the dirty things that we hide in the navel hole after long-term fermentation. Most of the time, the navel hole is dry, and the dirty things remain still. When the human body sweats too much or the environment in the navel hole becomes wet after bathing, the bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms inside begin to multiply rapidly, and some products will give off an irritating taste, especially for fat people, whose navel is deep, which will lead to more opportunities and even serious navel redness and inflammation.
So can we dig the navel? In fact, when I was a child, adults did not allow me to dig my navel, which was also a kind of protection for children. Because the child does not master the action of digging the navel, it is easy to cause local injuries and bring danger. Some children develop habitual actions, which make adults worry too much, so there is a saying that digging navel will lead to money leakage, and so on. In the final analysis, this is a new way of thinking to protect children. Just like the ancient saying that it is unlucky to meet a nun on the road, so we will avoid it when we see a nun. In fact, when we studied the Book of Changes, we found that it was actually a kind of protection for nuns in ancient times to protect them from being bullied by wicked people. Not letting the navel dig is also a kind of protection. With the progress of our times and the improvement of personal hygiene, we often take a bath and clean, basically the navel is gone, and naturally there is no such unpleasant smell.
By the way, why do surgeons have special feelings for navel? Having said that, we have to say that in the development of modern medicine, a technology called endoscope has appeared. Our single-hole appendectomy and cholecystectomy were performed through umbilical incision, and the incision was sutured with cosmetic thread after operation. After the incision healed, the incision was completely invisible in the abdomen, which met the aesthetic requirements.
In addition, the navel itself is an important acupoint, where acupuncturists often perform acupuncture treatment, which can cure very serious diseases!
In short, the navel is an important part of our body, so we should learn the correct cleaning methods to ensure good health.
I don't know if you agree with Dr. Fukuda. If there are different opinions, we can communicate.
Seeing this problem, I quickly subconsciously touched my navel, because my stomach is bigger and my navel is deeper, and I am afraid of infection or something. After all, I am a doctor, so I pay special attention to cleaning this place when I take a shower. Fortunately, there is no special taste …
But as a fat man, I have to admit that in summer, sometimes the belly button will smell if you don't pay attention to it, and it will disappear after cleaning, so why does this position smell?
Generally, the position of navel is generally concave and deep. Therefore, when we sweat a lot, or there is dead skin deposited here, or there is skin dirt residue, it will become a paradise for bacteria and fungi. When these bacteria and fungi are too dense, they will produce an unpleasant smell.
This situation is also easy to happen between the armpits and toes on our bodies, because these places have a common feature, that is, they are not very ventilated and easy to accumulate sweat, especially between the toes. People who have experienced the taste of Hong Kong foot may be particularly impressed.
What kind of person is more likely to smell like a navel?
Overweight people, too much belly fat will naturally lead to a deeper navel.
Some beautiful women like to hit a umbilical nail on their navel, but they dare not touch it for fear of pain, so it is easy to smell.
Diabetics' navel is very prone to odor and infection.
How to deal with it?
In fact, as long as there is no large area of redness, no obvious stench, that is to say, there is no serious infection, as long as you pay attention to cleanliness at ordinary times, it is normal to have a little taste. The key is that there is no obvious redness or fever on the skin, indicating that the inflammation is serious. And if the swelling and pain spread quickly, you must go to the hospital in time.
Use warm water and relatively mild soap when cleaning.
Do you understand why many people's navel stinks? Although this is a very common situation, I suggest that everyone should pay attention to it. After all, it is easy to cause infection on our body surface, and once infection occurs, this position is not very simple to handle, especially for female friends. If this position becomes particularly ugly because of infection, you can't wear a navel dress in summer!
The navel left on us used to be the link between us and our mother. We look forward to that day when we fall off the object and are cut off. It means that our relationship with our mother is very close.
This navel has become a part of our body. But some people who are obsessed with cleanliness feel that their navel stinks. In fact, this is easy to understand, mainly from two aspects. One is that the normal reason is cleanliness, because there are too many wrinkles in the belly button, which is easy to accumulate dust. In this case, the dust has accumulated for a long time, and it is easy to stink if it is not cleaned.
Another reason is that six or seven eyes are not tight, resulting in odor. There is also a symptom that may be caused by inflammation of the navel eye. It is because the water is wet and you often dig it with your hands in an improper way. If you find these situations, be sure to keep the navel surface dry, and don't dig this navel at ordinary times. In addition, some iodine should be disinfected or some antibiotics should be taken orally. This will keep the navel clean and there will be no odor.
Look at your navel, and you will know that it is a place that is easy to "shelter evil people and shelter evil people". To be honest, how many people will clean their navel while taking a shower? Please raise your hand if you can. ...
The inward concave shape of the navel is easy to accumulate "garbage", especially for obese friends, and the navel is "unfathomable". Some "garbage" formed by sebaceous gland secretions, exfoliated epithelial cells and a large number of bacteria and microorganisms are deeply immersed in it, and sometimes they can't even be dug up, which is embarrassing. ...
When the temperature is right and there is a humid environment for sweat, bacteria and other microorganisms will start to breed in your navel, ferment casually in the "garbage dump", and then produce some unspeakable smells; Moreover, after a long time, the skin inside the navel may be infected in this "messy" environment, and then fester and produce stench. ...
The only way to avoid this situation is to clean it up in time. As long as the navel is clean, there will naturally be no "garbage" left and bacteria will breed. It should be noted that the navel is quite fragile and cannot withstand too much "stimulation". If there is something dirty in it, don't buckle it with your hand. Broken skin may lead to infection, which is not worth the loss. It is recommended to put the wet cotton swab into the navel and gently rotate it to wipe it, and then choose some less irritating shower gel to clean it a little, and it will be ok!
1, foul smell formed by sewage fermentation
When the navel is depressed, it is easy to produce dirt, and it is easy to be ignored if it is not cleaned frequently. Although I often take a bath every day, I don't often clean my navel, but I also drop the dust from my body cleaning into my navel. Over time, there is more and more dirt in the belly button. In addition, when taking a bath, the water and the dirty things in the belly button will slowly form a bad smell after fermentation at a suitable temperature.
2. Bacteria are produced.
The position of navel is relatively hidden, which is easy to hide evil and accept evil, and it is also easy to give bacteria an opportunity. Bacteria like humid environment, so long as the temperature is suitable, they can multiply rapidly. The more bacteria there are, the stronger the smell produced by navel.
3. Inflammation appeared.
The position of the navel is still fragile, and the surrounding skin will be very tender. If you are not careful, there will be a wound around your navel, which is more troublesome and easy to breed bacteria. After being infected by bacteria, if left untreated, it may bring inflammation to the navel. There may be running water or pus in the belly button, which will be accompanied by odor.
