Since you are experiencing pain and noticing blood coming from your belly button, it could indicate an umbilical infection. You may consider using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Additionally, you should keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I have a 1.6 mm gallstone that causes severe pain sometimes and regular mild pain in my abdomen. Is there any way to treat this without surgery?

I've been dealing with a fissure issue and my homeopathy doctor prescribed oral meds along with liquid drops for sitz baths. Just wanted to check if this treatment approach sounds right or if surgery might be needed down the line. The discomfort's been bothering me and I'm not sure how effective these remedies are long-term

Homeopathy and sitz baths may help mild cases, but chronic fissures usually need surgery like LIS or laser. Track symptoms and pain.
