Blood Draining In Belly Button For The Child, Constipation And Pain. Abdominal Scan Done. Reason?

I have a 2 1/2 year old niece that has mild bloody drainage from her belly button. She has been treated twice for a granuloma, and was sent to see a surgeon and they performed an ultra sound. They have not given them any indciation of what this might be. The little girl also struggles with constipation and pain. What the family is told is that they think it may be her intestines, but they have not received any information as to what that means. Any answers?

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

It could be a fistula connecting between inner abdomen and outside skin or there could be a band connecting bowel loops with umbilicus causing obstruction for bowel movements resulting in pain and constipation to child.

Consult your doctor for examination and management. It needs to be operated to release obstruction, excision of track.

Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take
care.
