hi I had gall bladder surgery about a month ago and noticed last weekend that my belly button was hurting when I looked at it I noticed some crusty/drainage around it. I took a wet qtip and gently cleaned it and saw that it was also bleeding and had a bad odor. It has been doing this all week.I have an appt next week with my surgeon but it is really hurting. What should I do?
HIF at all your Gall bladder surgery was done by laparoscopic method, a 10 mm port will be placed near belly button through an incision. The scar site might get infected. So, there is foul smelling discharge. Chat Doctor. Please take Antibiotic Cefuroxime and anti-inflammatory tablets. Nothing to worry It will come downwards
