Sometimes parents do not know why a child has a stomach ache in the navel. If your baby complains of pain in this place, then there are enough reasons for concern. Pain in this area can indicate the presence of many serious diseases and violations of the integrity of the body, ranging from the presence of worms and ending with inflammatory processes of the abdominal organs.
If the child has a stomach ache in the navel, then try to find out the nature of the pain (aching, dull, sharp) and its localization. This will help you with further treatment. Let's learn more about the nature and consequences of this symptom.
Belly aches around the navel: causes
The most common diseases that have this symptom:
Intestinal hernia. Provocateurs can be constipation, indigestion, diarrhea and dysbiosis. Pain in the navel causes spasm of the muscles of the intestinal muscles. The harder they grip, the more painful the pain will be.
Intervertebral hernia. Our spine is like a “pantry room”, since it is in it that all the conductors of nerve impulses are located. It consists of seeds, which are called vertebrae. They
interconnected by small muscles and ligaments, cartilage pads. They are also called intervertebral discs. They serve as shock absorbers when walking and during various movements. But sometimes the walls of these cartilages can become thinner and torn. You ask: “Why does the stomach hurt in this case?” The answer is extremely simple: the violation occurs in the lumbar region, and it is here that the nerves that provide sensitivity and innervation of the abdominal cavity are located, which provokes pain.
Umbilical hernia. Another reason why a child has a stomach ache in the navel. This disease occurs most often in children who cry very much and often.
Appendicitis. If the pain is accompanied by a high fever, then it can be assumed that your baby has this ailment. The appendix can have a fairly long shape and abut against the loops of the small intestine, so the child may feel pain near the navel.
Exit stones from the kidneys. Even children have such pathologies. This formation, leaving the organs, strongly irritates the walls of the bile ducts and ureters, which causes spasm and pain.
Inversion of the small intestine and various etiologies of the intestine.
The child hurts alive
from the navel: what to do?When your child complains of such a symptom, then you should not throw everything on its own and hope that by morning it will pass by itself. In the abdomen are vital organs: intestines, stomach, liver, pancreas. If you take lightly such complaints of the baby, this will lead to serious consequences. To get started, call the ambulance team. If the child has a severe stomach ache in the navel, give an anesthetic and lay the baby on his back. Then bend his knees. It is advisable to put a thick pillow under your head. This position promotes maximum muscle relaxation, which will help relieve spasm. And remember, dear parents, that initiative in such cases is simply inappropriate - the help of doctors is mandatory.
