I am a 36 year old woman. I am overweight but recently have been losing weight and am down 27 pounds. I carry a good deal of my weight in my lower abdominal area. Recently, I noticed some pain in my navel, which is very deep due to my weight. I cleaned it out with a cotton swab and come out with a thick, foul smelling, pus like material and also some blood. I am also have been having some bloating and gas which is accompanied by thin and frequent bowel movements. Could you give me some idea what this could be? Are the symptoms related?
