Pain Inside Bellybutton With Dried Blood. Hurts Like Hernia. Is This Serious?
Hi.. My boyfriend is the type of person that doesn't go to a dr for anything. He has been having pain inside of his bellybutton for the past 3 years. He said it hurts almost like a hernia. There have been several times he has noticed dried blood when he cleans his belly button with a q tip. Could this be something serious?

Hi there ~
I understand your concerns for your boyfriend. I advise you to take your boyfriend to a doctor to find out what the reason for the blood from his umbilicus is. It could be anything from nothing serious to something that would need surgical attention, however a doctor's examination as well as imaging studies like ultrasound would reveal what the issue is.
I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
