Bleeding From the Belly Button
Posted: 08-11-07 09:18am

my brother called me yesterday and said that he was bleeding from his belly button. he said he hurt himself the other day at work and it brought him to his knees. now he is bleeding from deep inside his naval cavity. it 's not pouring out but it's a constant bleed. what could possibly cause this?

I think we all clean out the lint (or whatever) from our navel, but 99 percent of us don't bleed from the cavity. I believe it could be as simple as a pimple or as complicated as a tear in the lining of the stomach. I'm assuming that he can't see where the blood is coming from inside.

There's no doubt he needs to have a doctor check it out to make sure what it is causing the bleeding. We could speculate all day about the cause, but a physician is the only one he'd want examing that area.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful but if the cause is hidden, it would be more dangerous to proceed without being examined. Hope everything works out.
