Navel Piercing History

Belly Button Rings is a modern invention and has never been recorded in primitive cultures; however the navel has long been recognized as an erogenous zone, because of the difference between men's and women's stomachs

The following article on navel piercing history focuses on the degree to which a certain medical device could complicate the long healing period, the period that follows any navel piercing. While the article below names one particular device, it might also have mentioned a second medical device. Patients with an implanted insulin pump need to use added caution, should they decide to get a pierced navel. Any device that 's implanted under the skin can easily become infected, just like any ornament that a piercing specialist might insert in a hole, a hole made by either a piercing needle or a piercing gun.

No article about navel piercing jewelry history should leave out information about infections. This article will certainly address that subject. Yet this article about navel piercing history will examine far more than just the basic reason that a pierced belly button can easily become the site of a red and irritating infection.

Absent from the typical navel piercing history, and absent too from many medical journals, has been information about the incidence of infections among patients with a particular type of implanted device. Perhaps that is because only a tiny fraction of young adults need to receive, during a surgical procedure, this one particular device.

What is that device, and why does it deserve mention in an article about body piercing history? That device is the ventricular-peritoneal shunt, a tube that drains excess cerebrospinal fluid into the peritoneal cavity. Since that cavity lies under the belly button, a patient with such a shunt should think twice before going in search of a navel piercing specialist.

For even the healthiest of youth, a search for a navel piercing specialist should not take place in a limited amount of time. Such a search should proceed within a timeframe that permits completion of a complete search. When a youth carries scars, scars gained during implantation of a shunt, then that youth definitely needs to find a true piercing professional.

Still, even the best piercing professional can not make decisions for the patient who wants to have a pierced belly. Should he or she elect to wear a belly button ring or a barbell? What supplies must he or she purchase, in order to make sure that any pierced belly remains clean?

While a patient ponders the answer to those questions, that patient can benefit from learning more about the healing process in a pierced belly. Once pierced, a belly with a hole will eventually loose that hole, unless some type of ornament remains inside the same hole. Unless a patient wants to destroy a navel piercing, that patient keeps the initial ornament in his or her belly for 3 to 9 months.

During that 3 to 9 month period, the patient with the pierced belly needs to keep that belly clean. That usually demands application of an antiseptic three to five times a day. In addition, the ornament that fills the new hole in the patient's belly has to be rotated on a regular basis. Both efforts to clean the belly and attention to the turning of a new belly ornament must become part of the patient's healing routine.

In the absence of such efforts, and such attention, a patient might have a very sad story to add to the chronicles of navel piercing history.
