Hi Nat21,

The same happened to me after my hysterectomy. After I'd showered on the mornings I kept my belly button very dry and used Savlon on it every day and eventually it got better.

But if it hadnt got better after a few days, I would have gone to the gp.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Thanks Annie! Going to go to the Drs because it's been just over 2 weeks and my belly button just isn't improving thanks for kind wishes x

Hey you!

Hmm, the soreness I can get behind as it took my bellybutton a good week to stop being painful. However, maybe ring your Docs for advice? If there is a smell there it could be a wee infection - I doubt it! But just in case go get it checked out.

You're already suffering enough with this damn endo, so don't let something else flair up with that too :)

Good luck lovely and dont worry, even if it is a wee infection a nice antibiotic will kick it quickly!
