A member asked:

I had laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis 2 months ago & i'm still having yellowish drainage from my belly button, it is enough that it soaks through my shirt every day. my surgeon cauterized my belly button two weeks ago, still draining & itchy?

Return to your surgeon for a follow up visit to be sure this area is "healing properly". The wound should be explored gently with a Q-tip and hydrogen peroxide to be sure that it does not abnormally communicate with underlying intestinal structures (fistula).
