Question 1

bellybutton piercing is bleeding what to put on it ?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding piercing: Hello. Pressure is usually the only thing needed. If your piercing looks infected, see your doctor for a possible antibiotic. Follow your instructions from the piercing technician and follow up with him/her for a recheck of the placement.

Question 2

my newborns bellybutton is slightly bleeding and has a little hole in it. is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding or a stain?: If it is just a stain do not worry it is likely to stop soon. If the hole is oozing blood you may want to see a doctor. The hole was your baby's connection to your blood system when in the womb. I wonder if there was a tie on the cord and it is now gone or loose? I wonder how old is your baby? If the bleeding is little just tie the cord with very clean tie to keep the hole tight and keep clean.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

No need to worry: Call the surgeon who did your operation and it can probably be taken care of easily.

Question 4

my bellybutton infection doesnt seem to be going away, its been almost 2 months now and ive been to the doctor 4 times and they keep telling me its nothing too serious to worry about but yet i still feel mild pain and bleeding, any advice?

Accepted Answer

: This isn't the sort of problem that can be resolved on a distant online forum, but only with in-person medical care. From your description, I agree it doesn't sound serious. But if you're having trouble believing or understanding your doctor, your only option is to see another physician -- perhaps a surgeon or an infectious diseases specialist -- for a second opinion. Good luck.

Question 5

so im waiting for my doctor to refer me to a specialist for my bellybutton infection that wont go away. my question is in the meantime what can i do to stop the discharge and bleeding? is there any over the counter i can take ? any advice wouldhelp?

Accepted Answer

: The proper treatment for a belly button infection depends on the cause so you must be examined as soon as possible. In the meantime your belly button should be kept clean &amp; dry to promote healing. Possible causes of your infection include a bacterial infection, a fungal infection, &amp; cysts. People with diabetes are at an increased risk for all types of infections. I wish you well with your health!

Question 6

my bellybutton infection wont go away, there is still discharge and bleeding, im currently waiting to get an appointment for a surgeon, but what do you think it could be? my blood work came out fine, i have no fever, infection just wont go away?

Accepted Answer

: I assume you don't have a hernia or stone. If you have a discharge you may have a fungal or yeast infection rather than a bacterial one and this requires antifungal medication. A discharge should be sent for a culture. . There could be an underlying cyst and the surgeon will be able to diagnose and treat it.

Question 7

pussy bleeding from belly button?

Accepted Answer

Omphalitis: Belly button infections are very rare in adults.  It may be due to something as simple as a skin infection or infected hair follicle.  I would recommend local wound care and antibiotics.  If it returns, a ct scan is needed to check for any umbilical cord-related remnants which may need to be removed. (btw-the adjective of "pus" is purulent, not pussy).

Question 8

lower left adominal pain and rectal bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Serious: This could be a serious condition. Could be diverticulitis or cancer. See a doctor immediately please!

Question 9

what are the reasons behind bleeding belly button?

Accepted Answer

Pyogenic granuloma: You may have an infection in your belly button known as a pyogenic granuloma which because of friability can bleed.

Question 10

what are causes of pain around belly button and bleeding in belly button?

Accepted Answer

Get it checked.: An infection may be the cause of naval bleeding – especially if there is discharge, pain or odor. A second cause for bleeding can be trauma. A frequent scenario is when someone sticks their finger in their umbilicus to search for “lint” and they scratch or abrade the skin.
