Dried blood around belly button
Before I got into the shower this afternoon, I noticed that there was dried blood around the outside of my belly button. Could this be that the stitch disolved ? Is this a common occurance ?
I'm 4 weeks post-op.

Re: Dried blood around belly button
I had an LSH (2 weeks post-op today) and have some dried blood around the belly button. I'm going to the dr this afternoon and will ask, but my memory from my diagnostic lap surgery was that it was considered normal.

Back from the doctor and she said that the blood around the belly button was to be expected, to cleanse it gently with a q-tip and hydrogen peroxide and let it "air dry".
