Hi Jamie,Sounds like his button is inflamed! It is quite important to keep this thing cleaned on a regular baisis. Hydrogen peroxide, TDPP, should help. I had this problem once quite a while ago, although not as severe as his sounds, and all I did was cleansed it, kept it that way and it eventually healed. We too many times take this little part of our body forgranted and never bother to clean it when we bath and shower. Good breeding grounds for yeast, bacteria, difflewuzzle, etc.HTH,Don Q.

I have looked at his belly button... There is nothing out of the ordinary looking about it. It is clean and looks totally normal.??? I appreciate what your saying but dang there is no redness, nothing..

 

Any other ideas?

 

God Bless & Thanks,

No he hasn't. His Dad raised him & his siblings... He never took them to Dr. or Dentist, etc. It was just sink or swim in that house! All the kids have breathing problems too.. I am surprised none of them died. Not that you should go to the Dr. just that he did nothing to help them. His older brother has only use of 1 lung due to damage from childhood.

 

PS Their mom left when they were toddlers and none of them ever saw her again. SO SAD

 

Any ideas on how to check for belly button hernia at home?

 

God Bless,

He may have a hernia. Could be an adhesion if he was ever injured there or had abdomenal surgery. Sometimes parasites can cause that kind of pain there. Kinda hard to figure because I don't know much about him.

Herbal Remedies - Belly Button Problem

 

Okay you guys here is an odd one for you!

 

My friend Brett is 30 years old, he says that this has been an ongoing problem ever since he can remember....

 

He has no regular pain in his belly button BUT if you even get near that belly button with a finger, no matter how gentle, he screams in pain...True. When it is touched it hurts very bad... Not on the outside but ANY part of the inside, even the edges not just deep inside.

 

Has anyone ever heard of this problem?

 

He has no pain elsewhere in the area... I have a few fleeting ideas but would love your input please.

 

If it matters to you he is an "innie"

 

Thanks in Advance,

You need to feel around for it. Have him lay down and relax. Gently put your

fingers flat over his navel. Press down slightly and have him tighten his ab

muscles. Usually you will feel a bulging area, softer than the surrounding

muscles at this point. Hope this helps.

my step dad had two hernias. one in the groin and one at the navel. the groin one was frequently trying to herniate or i think they call it strangulate.. come through the stomach lining, and he would have to lie down and push it in and place a truss over it to keep it in. like you say, the hernia itself is very soft because it is actually the gut trying to get out. the one at the navel was not as bad, but it would get puffy (puf out a bit)when he over lifted something too heavy. if the gut got out and the opening didn't expand, it could really be a terrible problem as it, where it was choked off, begin to decay and that is BAD news..

love.. granny lee

Jamie,

he has a lot of baggage that he's holding on to, you say he's had this forever. Think about it, you are attached to your mom in utero through the umbilical cord, which then becomes the belly button.......... and his pain is right there. I'd say it is absolutely about his mom. I know some wonderful people who do work with this type of thing.
