I had gall bladder surgery 5 weeks ago and they repaired a hernia at the same time.  However, I had the flu last week and was vomitting a lot so I think this strained my hernia.  I have redness around my belly button & it is very tender above it.  What do you think it is?
Hi.it is best if you do a follow-up consult with your surgeon for physical examination and clinical evaluation regarding your concern. Your post-operative wound might have developed an inflammation or a Serbia formation. Daily wound care and completion of antibiotic regimen is also recommended. Other diagnostics and management will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
