Discomfort In Stomach, Bloated, Painful, Pressure Sensation, White Discharge. What Is The Cause?
Hello, I started having an uncomfortable feeling in the middle portion of my stomach mostly around my belly button. It feels tight almost like bloating. Only slightly painful to pressure. Has become more noticeable in the past few hours. Inside of belly button is red with some clear/whitish discharge, not painful but a little sore feeling. I'm 29, medium build. I did have full tummy tuck with no complications 5 years ago. What could be causing this?

Hi ! From the history of clear/whitish discharge from your belly button with pain below it signifies that there is some infection which has creeped into your belly button. Tummy tuck may or may not be related to this, as it was done 5 years ago. I would suggest you to take special care in your personal hygiene of the belly button, keep it dry after every bath and apply some betadine lotion locally. If it persists, then you may have to take a course of antibiotics on consultation with your family physician. Good luck.
