Why Does the Area Below My Belly Button Hurt When Pressed?
Pain when pressing below the navel is a common phenomenon. If women frequently experience such pain, they should be alert to gynecological diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease, and can undergo B-ultrasound examination and leucorrhea routine examination. If men frequently experience such pain, they should also be alert to the possibility of prostatitis, and need timely examination and treatment. Below we will take a detailed look at the causes and treatment of pain when pressing below the navel.
Pain when pressing below the navel belongs to abdominal pain. There are several possible causes of abdominal pain:
- Enteritis. Abdominal pain is often a manifestation of enteritis, accompanied by diarrhea. Antibiotics and intestinal regulating drugs can be used for treatment.
- Abdominal pain may also be caused by intestinal spasms, intestinal obstruction, or intestinal dysfunction. This condition requires diagnosis through examination and targeted treatment. For intestinal spasms, antispasmodic analgesics such as belladonna tablets or 654-2 tablets can be used. For intestinal obstruction, specialized treatment including gastrointestinal decompression, conservative treatment, or surgical treatment may be required.
- Pain when pressing below the navel may also be a manifestation of prostatitis in men, or pain caused by gynecological inflammation in women.
Pain when pressing below the navel can be treated through the following methods:
- Reduce activity and seek medical attention promptly. The area below the navel is the lower abdomen, which contains numerous organs such as the transverse colon, uterus, and fallopian tubes, and is prone to lesions. After experiencing pain, it is necessary to stop relevant activities, take appropriate rest to reduce the burden on the body, and go to the hospital for B-ultrasound, abdominal radiography, and other examinations as soon as possible to identify the cause.
- Adjust diet and lifestyle. Pain when pressing below the navel may be related to intestinal or gynecological issues. During treatment, it is important to maintain personal hygiene, avoid sexual activity, refrain from eating cold and spicy foods, and adopt a healthy lifestyle.
