"Doctor, children always like to pick their navels when they are fine, is this not good?" Heard it's rotten? ”
From an early age, I was told not to pick my belly button
Today to visit the New Year, everyone is chatting, relatives saw the little grandson in the navel eye, hurriedly stopped it, while stopping it said: "Tell you how many times, the navel eye can not be cut, easy to rot intestines!" "At this time, the relative suddenly realized that I was a doctor, so I had the question at the beginning of the article.
In fact, the rumor that cutting the navel eye is harmful to the body has a long history, I believe that many people have been told not to touch the navel eye since childhood, some people say that it will hurt the stomach, some people say that it is not good for the body, and even some people say that it will rot the intestines. So is it really harmful to pick the navel eye? What should I do if my belly button and eyes are dirty? Today we will have a good talk.
Understand the formation of the navel eye, you can understand whether you can cut the navel eye
The umbilical cord is the most important link between the pregnant mother and the fetus
The formation of the navel eye is closely related to the umbilical cord.
The umbilical cord is the most important link between the pregnant mother and the fetus, when the mother is pregnant, the nutrients needed by the fetus are transported to the fetus through the umbilical cord, when the fetus is born, the umbilical cord is cut, the umbilical cord in the body gradually degenerates into a hepatic round ligament, and the outer umbilical cord gradually atresia, and eventually becomes the navel eye, so those such as cutting the navel eye will rot the intestines Is obviously wrong, because the back of the navel eye is not connected to the intestines, no matter how much you cut it will not lead to rotten intestines.
Why is it uncomfortable for someone to pick their navel eyes?
Since the back of the navel eye is not connected to the intestine, why does someone cut too much and still cause discomfort such as indigestion? Here I will explain it to you. Although the umbilical cord gradually atresia into a hepatic round ligament after birth, some of the previous nerves are still present, and when the navel eye is picked, this part of the visceral nerve may be stimulated, resulting in a series of symptoms such as indigestion.
May cause indigestion
In addition, the skin of the navel eye is more sensitive, especially for some babies and children, the skin of the navel eye is relatively delicate, once there is a habit of picking the navel, it is easy to cause local skin damage or even infection, when the umbilitis is further aggravated, it may even lead to the occurrence of abdominal infection, so it is not a good habit for children to always pick the navel.
How to properly remove the dirt from the navel eye?
Although the navel eye is relatively delicate, incorrect cutting of the navel is easy to cause inflammation including umbilitis infection, but the navel eye is indeed a place that is easy to hide dirt and grime, so it is particularly important to be correct and regular, and then teach everyone how to clean the navel eye correctly.
We prepare two medical swabs (household swabs or even makeup remover swabs).
Wet the head of one of the cotton swabs with water, then use the head of the cotton swab to wet the dirt on the navel eye to make it soft. Some friends who have never cleaned their navel eyes may encounter simple water that cannot wet it, you can dip a small amount of shower gel or soapy water to gently wash, do not use too much force, so as not to cause skin damage.
Use another dried cotton swab to dip the dirt from your already wet navel eye.
Finally, as a reminder, because the child's self-control is often poor, as a parent tells the children not to casually pick the navel eye to avoid causing damage or even inflammation around the umbilical cord, and then usually use a cotton swab to clean the child.
