Recently, more and more often you can notice girls and women having piercings. At the same time, the navel is one of the most popular puncture sites. Some people like it, others don't, but the fact remains that this is a very common occurrence. If you decide on a similar experiment with your body, you first need to know a few things that will allow you not to spoil the impression of the procedure and the piercing itself.
So, let's start with the preparation. Navel piercing is the same piercing as in the eyebrow or in the ears, respectively, the same rules apply to it, namely:
- Choosing a proven salon in which a certified doctor is engaged in piercing, and not a cosmetologist who has completed courses - you can’t save on this business. It is also noticed that all professionals use a special surgical steel needle , but not a gun at all. The list of possible complications from a puncture with a gun is much longer than from a manual puncture. Of course, there is a risk of metal rejection by the body - this also happens. But the percentage of such cases is relatively small.
- Follow all recommendations. Usually there are few of them - wipe the earring with a chlorhexidine solution, sometimes other ointments or solutions are advised - the doctor knows better, trust him.
- In the first days (usually 3-4), you need to attach a cotton pad with adhesive tape so that the disc completely covers the earring. This will protect the puncture from unnecessary dust, dirt and protect against mechanical damage.
- Do not wear clothes with lace or similar to it - the earring can catch, and it will be very unpleasant.
The earring should be chosen from medical steel or titanium - for the first time only it. Then you can replace it with any one to your taste. Fine gold is recommended, for example. At first (and in the future) do not choose heavy jewelry - the hole can grow, and this is not very beautiful.
It’s not painful to pierce the navel , well, except that it’s a little unpleasant. Sometimes they even anesthetize the place of the future puncture so as not to feel anything at all.
In general, navel piercing, as noted by many girls and women, disciplines. After all, our tummy should be tightened, and not sagging, so that the earring looked appropriate. But the first months - at least 3 - refrain from exercise on the press.
Often those who want to insert a piercing into the navel are interested in whether the hole will grow over during pregnancy, and how to deal with the piercing for the desired 9 months. It all depends on your individual characteristics - some appear scars, and some remain as before pregnancy. This cannot be predicted. Like whether a puncture will overgrow. Now there are special teflon barbell earrings for pregnant women, they are very comfortable to wear even at a later date, many wear before delivery. You can also sometimes insert your usual earring, but for 2 minutes, so the puncture will not heal.
Those who are not impressed by a pregnant woman with a piercing (I'm sure there are many of them) can insert a silk thread into the hole, so it will not grow over.
The navel piercing doesn’t harm the baby. The only caveat - if you pierced the navel shortly before pregnancy - a year and a half, then you should be very careful about the treatment of the puncture site, because the channel may not yet form, and this makes it more vulnerable to infections. At normal times, one could take a course of strong antibiotics, but during pregnancy they are prohibited and immunity is weakened. Be careful. And if your immediate plans include pregnancy, it is better to do piercing after childbirth.
Navel piercing is contraindicated for those who have health problems like allergies, skin diseases. And also during menstruation - because at this time the pain is felt stronger.
And, of course, at the slightest sign of suppuration or infection, you must consult a doctor. There are situations when beauty does not require sacrifice.
