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.
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 and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
