I never knew this could one of the scariest things happening to me. About 4-5 weeks back , I saw suddenly some foul smelling stuff coming out of the belly button area.....very little....i wondered if the umbilical cord stiches have opened and its unwinding.....scary...slowly lose all stomach stuff :)..well just ignored it...then slowly the discharge became larger and now combined with blood...huum...strange stuff....never really knew about any such injury.....to add to the problem.....it was not visible as to what was wrong in the region....but the blood and fluid kept coming out...not a flow but i guess 3-4 drops a day.....and strangely there was no pain either....over a period the discharge was increasing now....huum no more under ignorance limit so checked out a doctor....ah some bacterial infection causing formation of a small lump he said... due to scratching around the belly button area.... damn... scratching proved a costly affair..... doctor gave some antibiotics and antibactrial stuff to try out for 4 days....and then report back if there is any progress...huuf...no change when I went to see doctor after 4 days...ahh and so he said operation necessary to prevent the lump from growing big.....huum got no choice....so fixed up an appoitment with other doctor at operation clinic at NUH....date just next after last exam on 28th......waah thankfully by the time appointment date 29th came ....it looked like condition was improving ....just wanted to be doubly sure so went to meet doctor of the operation clinic in NUH ...and relieved to find out that the lump had gone........... gained additional knowledge of the region of infection being called belly button area :).......
