"What Steps Should I Take When Experiencing a Dull Pain Around My Belly Button?"

There may be dull pain around the umbilicus, which could be caused by local inflammation, appendicitis, and other reasons. Common local inflammatory infections include urachal fistula or secondary infection of the gastric wall, which may lead to fever, edema, and hyperemia. Timely anti-infective treatment is required. Patients with appendicitis may also experience pain in the lower abdomen, nausea, vomiting, and fever. Surgical resection is necessary, and post-operative anti-infective treatment is also required.

Diseases Associated with Dull Pain around the Umbilicus:

1. Local inflammatory reactions, commonly urachal fistula or secondary infection of the gastric wall, may cause local pain, obvious inflammatory reactions, hyperemia, edema, and even fever. In the acute phase, the area should be thoroughly disinfected with iodophor and then wrapped with sterile dressings. Systemic anti-infective treatment is required, and surgery may be necessary in severe cases.

2. Some patients experience dull pain due to appendicitis, especially in the early stages of onset. They may experience umbilical pain. As the disease progresses, the pain may worsen and gradually shift to a fixed position in the right lower abdomen. The patients may also experience nausea, vomiting, fever, or significant rectal irritation. Once appendicitis is diagnosed, timely surgical treatment is required. The appendix is usually removed under epidural anesthesia, and post-operative anti-infective treatment should also be given.
