The navel refers to the belly button. In general, pain around the navel caused by exposure to wind may result from factors such as abdominal muscle strain, gastritis, or enteritis. Patients can receive symptomatic treatment based on the specific cause. Details are as follows:

1. Abdominal Muscle Strain

Intense exercise, twisting injuries, or overstretching of abdominal muscles may lead to abdominal muscle strain, causing muscle tension and pain in the abdomen or around the navel. It is recommended that patients use medications such as Maituling tablets or Huoxue Zhitong ointment under medical guidance, and ensure adequate rest.

2. Gastritis

Gastritis caused by underlying conditions such as improper diet, bacterial infection, or drug side effects may lead to pain and discomfort around the abdomen and navel. It is recommended that patients use medications such as Compound Rennin Capsules or Bismuth Potassium Citrate Tablets under medical guidance, while adjusting their dietary habits.

3. Enteritis

Inflammation of the intestines caused by viral or bacterial infections may result in symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and pain around the navel. It is recommended that patients use medications such as Acyclovir Capsules or Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsules under medical guidance, while maintaining good dietary hygiene.

Besides the three causes listed above, other conditions such as abdominal hernia, liver cancer, or pancreatic cancer may also be responsible. Patients are advised to seek timely medical evaluation and treatment.
