Had Umbilical Hernia, Bumps Around Belly Button, Smelly Fluid. Had A Surgery. What Is Going On?
I had an umbilical hernia and about a year ago, I had surgery. For the past few weeks I've had two bumps on my belly button, they're not big, but noticeable. There is also clear, smelly fluid coming out. I have some sharp pain around where the hernia was/still is. I don't know if I need it looked at right away or what to do.

Hi, welcome to Health care magic forum.
You had umbilical hernia surgery, for the past few weeks you had 2 small bumps, with clear and smelling discharge.
The causes may be the sepsis of the sutures in side, or may be the recurance of the hernia.
Any how it important to consult your doctor for treatment, to prevent the recurrence, if it is not recurrence.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
