<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I was told I had a hernia because my naval kept bleeding where I had to place a pad on it.. I just had Gall Bladder surgery and the doctor when through my naval instead of another spot. I was told that I will bleed every month when I get my menstruation and there is nothing that can be done. I have pain and a very foul odor coming from my naval. Please tell me what I can do.  <response>: Hi.it is best if you have it checked by a general surgeon for clinical evaluation. Was it laparoscopic cholecystectomy that was done to you? There are incidents wherein post-surgery, these things happen in the previous naval port area of the patient. Also, doctors evaluation is needed to rule-out racial cyst problems which might be causing the foul smelling discharge and infection. Diagnostics and management medical andor surgical will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!! Chat Doctor.
