Is Smelly Belly Button Normal After Abdominal Hysterectomy?
I had a abdominal hysterectomy 2 weeks ago and noticed my belly button is smelling. I tried to clean it with water during the shower and dry it. However it smelled better but I still have a hint of odor. I use a Qtip to clean it and noticed blood. Not sure how deep I should be doing this as it still hurts and my post op appt. is 2 weeks away.

Hi and welcome to HCm thanks for the query.
no, you have obviously conditon called umbilical infection and this can be result of hysterectomy but this is not common afte rit. it means that there is some inflammation at base of your belly button. it should betreated by frequent cleaning and antibiotic cream. if not halpful you need surgicall procedure.
Regards
