Abdominal Discomfort, Discharge From Belly Button, Crustiness. Gall Stones Detected In Ultrasound. Cure?
I have had an ultrasound that was positive for gallstones. I have persistent discomfort in my upper right abdomin(although not a gallladder attack , have had short ones and they were different), but am trying to live with it long enough to get to surgery. However, in the last few days I have noticed that my belly button is weeping , and leaving a crustiness after I sleep. Are they related?

Hi,
thanks for writing in.
It is unlikely that the two pathologies may be related. However there are anecdotal reports of such associations. I would suggest that you undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy . At the same sitting the entire abdomen can be examined .
I hope this answers your querry.
