Introduction to protruding belly button of 2-month-old baby

We all know that the belly button is the scar left by the umbilical cord when we were born. The belly button is located under our belly. Sometimes we will find that if we always touch our belly button, our belly will hurt. Many people have had cracked belly buttons because they did not pay attention to protecting themselves. So today I will introduce to you the role of the belly button of the human body and how to protect your belly button in daily life.

The belly button, commonly known as the navel, is essentially the scar left after the umbilical cord falls off after the fetus is born. The umbilicus is located on the midline of the abdomen at the level of the anterior superior iliac spine and has a diameter of approximately 1.0 to 2.0 cm. It can usually be a small depression or a small protrusion. The abdominal muscles below the belly button form a depression. The small size of the navel often results in a certain structural weakness and makes it susceptible to umbilical hernia. The belly button is a delicate part, so you should take care to protect it in daily life. Do not expose it to cold or pick it with your hands.

Care methods

1. Pay attention to the hygiene of the navel: In summer, the amount of sweat is large, and the dirt on the body can easily enter the navel and be deposited with sweat. Use warm water and neutral shower gel to scrub the area around the navel and the navel every day to remove dirt and prevent the growth of bacteria. But do not rub it hard to avoid hurting the skin and causing infection.

2. Pay attention to prevent "wind": The area around the navel is the gastrointestinal area, which is easy to get cold, so you should prevent the navel from catching cold. It is best not to wear belly-baring clothes when the weather is cool in the morning and evening, or when the temperature is low on rainy days; do not blow the cool air from fans or air conditioners directly at the navel; when riding a motorcycle or bicycle in belly-baring clothes, do not ride too fast; when sleeping, cover your abdomen with a thin layer or use an umbilical cord protector.

3. Prevent accidental injury to the navel: The area around the navel is exposed and due to the lack of clothing protection, it is often prone to accidental injuries such as burns, abrasions, scratches, etc. Therefore, be careful in your daily life or work.

4. Try not to get tattoos: Ladies who love to look pretty often think that belly-revealing clothes are not eye-catching enough, so they like to get patterns or even permanent tattoos on their belly. However, doing so will cause certain health risks. Because tattoos can interfere with the excretion function of the skin and may cause skin diseases such as eczema and prickly heat; the pigments of tattoos often contain some chemical components that are harmful to the body. If tattoos are done in business premises and tattoo needles are shared, there is a possibility of contracting infectious diseases. So be careful when decorating.

The above is some common sense about the belly button introduced to us by professionals. So based on the above, we should pay more attention to caring for our belly button, because the belly button plays an important role in protecting our gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, we should pay more attention to this knowledge in our daily life, which will also help us protect our bodies. I hope the above content can help you.
