Suggest Treatment For Bleeding From Navel Post Gall Bladder Surgery
I was told I had a hernia because my naval kept bleeding where I had to place a pad on it.. I just had Gall Bladder surgery and the doctor when through my naval instead of another spot. I was told that I will bleed every month when I get my menstruation and there is nothing that can be done. I have pain and a very foul odor coming from my naval. Please tell me what I can do.

hi.
it is best if you have it checked by a general surgeon for clinical evaluation. was it laparoscopic cholecystectomy that was done to you? there are incidents wherein post-surgery, this things happen in the previous naval port area of the patient. also, doctor's evaluation is needed to rule-out urachal cyst problems which might be causing the foul smelling discharge and infection. diagnostics and management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
