Surgery wound oozing for five years
Five years ago i had surgery to repair an umbilical hernia. They put plastic mesh inside me. For the last five years i have had leakage and oozing from my belly button. The incision for the surgery was below my navel but when the doctor drained it in following visits he put the needle through my navel. As i said it has been leaking ever since but in the last few weeks the ooze tgat comes out of it smells horrible. Ive been to the er numerous times but all they do is give me antibiotics
