What Causes Diarrhea And Protruding Navel Along With Dizziness?

I am recovering from breast cancer; it will be 2 years this December. I had the final reconstruction in December 2017, which left me with drop foot. I am slowly recovering from that. I had a diep epigastric flap surgery done for my initial breast reconstruction Nov. 2016. I also was hospitalzed twice with complications. The reason I mention all this is because this week I have had watery stools and my belly button area is sensitive and slightly protrudes. I have had no energy and feel dizzy and light headed. I went to the doctors last week before the stomach problems started and the doctor assumed it was sinus problems due to my sinus history. He put me on steriods for five days ad antibiotics for three. ANY IDEA?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It may be due to the same reson that your doctors has suggested. Please continue with the prescribed medicine.

As far as abdominal protrusion is concerned, I think, you are developing umbilical hernia (due to abdominal wall weakness and increased intra-abdominal pressure) for which surgeon consultation is required.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
