Regarding the navel, you may have heard: "The baby's navel must be tightly covered and not affected by the wind, otherwise it is easy to catch a cold and diarrhea." You can't pick your belly button, you will have a stomachache. The newborn baby's navel should be disinfected with alcohol every day before it falls off. And so on.
What secrets are hidden in the belly button?
The "dirty" in the belly button is the body's normal secreted metabolites, which are a mixture of shedding hair, dander, dust, and bacteria. After the baby is born, the umbilical cord connecting the mother and child will be cut, and after a period of time, the "small hole" on the belly that was originally connected to the umbilical cord will silently grow flesh and heal until the hole is filled and becomes the navel.
Can a cold belly button cause diarrhea?
Why are we so obsessed with covering our belly button? Because in the ancient belief, "wind" will enter the body from the navel and cause "cold".
In fact, the navel is closed. After the umbilical cord is cut and clamped from the baby's birth, as the umbilical cord falls off and the ** heals, the navel is similar to a "scar", completely isolating the abdominal organs from the outside world, and the "wind" can't get in.
The common cold refers to an acute upper respiratory tract infection caused by a viral infection, while diarrhea is an infection of the gastrointestinal tract caused by bacteria or viruses. Viruses and bacteria generally enter the human body through the mouth and nose. So instead of constantly covering your baby's belly, it is better to keep the room ventilated, do a good job of hand hygiene for your baby, ensure that the food in the mouth is clean, and follow the vaccination schedule.
Can you pick out something dirty in your belly button?
If there's something dirty in your belly button, you can clean it up, but don't pick it hard. Those dirt are actually a mixture of debris, sweat and dust, etc., which is no different from the mud rubbed out of other parts. Generally, these dirts are not harmful to health and do not have any odor. Wipe it off gently with a cotton swab dipped in water.
If you can't control your hands, it's okay to pick them lightly, but your fingers must be clean, your movements should be light, don't pick them, and don't force them if you feel uncomfortable. If your belly button is red, swollen, painful, or smelly, it may be an infection and you should seek medical attention. In short, the navel needs to be cleaned, but don't pick it hard.
