Bleeding from navel after keyhole surgery?!
Question: Hiya,
OK last April I had keyhole surgery to remove my gallbladder and just before christmas I started having problems. Basically I have a pretty much constant discharge from my belly button, which when I wake in the morning is a yellow gunk. I try to leave it alone as much as possible except to dry it but on several occasions if I messed around to much there's fresh blood. Now I'm seeing a doctor again for the 5TH time next week. I've already been on 3 courses of antibiotics because streptacoccus was found on a swab, but the discharge won't go away. I've seen 2 different doctors, the first one was pretty useless ( I saw this guy 3 times) and the second doctor was alot nicer but was reluctant to refer me back to the hospital because "it can bring it's own problems".
Basically I want to know if anyone has had a similar experience what the problem actually was or if anyone else has any ideas cos I'm fed up with this now. I have a feeling the infections are a symptom of something else.

Okay this is not normal at all anyway i think yu have an infection if I was you I would go to the dr or your sergeon. I had this done and mine healed up fine. You need to have a ultrasound or and x-ray to see if they left anything in you. I have no clue why ur doing this. I know its not normal at all.
That is awful. The doctors need to determine what is actully wrong with you. Maybe you need to ask them a few more questions.
