To rule out Umbilical Granuloma

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Dear Ms,

Bloody discharge from umbilicus is likely to be due to Omphalitis(infection at Umbilicus), associated pathology like umbilical granuloma also needs to be considered. Rarely Endometriosis can present with bloody discharge from umbilicus(providing clinical photograph will be helpful)

I would suggest you to consult your Physician/Surgeon for detailed examination and further assessment. Further management will depend on the clinical findings.

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to help you.

Wisging you and your family a very happy and healthy life.


Take Care
