What Causes Pain In Belly Button Area Along With Occasional Leaks?
I had a tummy tuck about 5 years ago with no serious problems post surgery. I am now experiencing pain around the belly button area, and what feels like a sort of hardening in my abdomen. My belly button leaks fluid and occasionally bleeds, along with a disgusting smell. Not sure if all of this is related or not
