Piercing in the navel: what you need to know

Recently, more and more often you can see girls and women having piercings. The navel is one of the most popular puncture sites. Some people like it, some do not, but the fact remains - this is a very common phenomenon. If you decided on such an experiment with your body, you first need to know a few things that will allow you not to spoil the impression of the procedure and the piercing itself.

So, let's start with the preparation. Piercing in the navel - the same piercing as in the eyebrows or in the ears, respectively, it is subject to the same rules, namely:

- To choose a proven salon in which a certified doctor deals with piercing, and not a cosmetologist who graduated from the course - you can not economize on this matter. It is also noted that all professionals use a special needle from surgical steel, but not a gun. The list of possible complications from a puncture by a pistol is much longer than from a manual puncture. Of course, there is a risk of rejection by the body of metal - and this happens. But the percentage of such cases is relatively small.

- Follow all recommendations. Usually they are few - wipe the earring with chlorhexidine solution, sometimes advise other ointments or solutions - the doctor knows better, trust him.

- For the first days (usually 3-4), you need to attach a cotton disc with a plaster adhesive so that the disc completely covers the earring. This will protect the puncture from unnecessary dust, dirt and protect against mechanical damage.

- Do not wear clothes with lace or the like - the earring can catch on, and it will be very unpleasant.

The earring should be chosen from medical steel or titanium - for the first time only it. Then you can replace it with any one you like. High-grade gold is recommended, for example. At first (and in the future) do not choose heavy jewelry - a hole can increase, and it's not very beautiful.

Piercing the navel does not hurt, well, unless a little unpleasant. Sometimes even obezbalivayut place of the future puncture, so as not to feel anything at all.

In general, piercing in the navel, as many girls and women note, disciplines. After all, our tummy must be tightened, and not saggy, so that the earring looks appropriate. But the first months - at least 3 - refrain from exercises for the press.

Often, those wishing to put piercings in the navel are interested in whether the hole will become overgrown during pregnancy, and how to be with the piercings cherished 9 months. It all depends on your individual characteristics - some have scars, and some still remain as before pregnancy. It can not be predicted at all. As well as that, whether the puncture will grow. Now there are special earrings-teflon barbells for pregnant women, they are very comfortable to wear even at a later date, many are worn before delivery. Also you can sometimes insert your usual earring, but for 2 minutes, so the puncture does not overgrow.

Those who are not impressed by a pregnant woman with piercings (I'm sure there are many) can insert a silk thread into the hole, so it does not overgrow.

Baby piercing in the navel does not hurt. The only caveat - if you pierced the navel just before pregnancy - for a year and a half, then it's worth taking a very careful look at the puncture site, because the canal may not yet form, and this makes it more vulnerable to infections. At the usual time, one could drink a course of strong antibiotics, but during pregnancy they are prohibited, and immunity is weakened. Be careful. And if your next plans include pregnancy, it's better to do piercing after giving birth.

Piercing in the navel is contraindicated for those who have health problems like allergies, skin diseases. And also during menstruation - in fact at this time the pain is felt more strongly.

And, of course, with the slightest signs of suppuration or infection, you need to see a doctor. There are situations when beauty does not require sacrifice.
