Q: Bleeding Navel
asked by: ScaredBaka on September 5th, 2004
Experienced User
I spoke to my boyfriend yesterday and he said that on friday night, he noticed a blood spot on the front of his shirt. When he looked, he saw that the entire inside of his belly button was coated in blood.


Now I admit i'd probably be a little scared too if that happened. It's the first time this has ever happened to him. He said it wasn't gushing blood, nor did it bleed after that. There are no cuts, scrapes, etc. In his navel, and when I looked at it for him, there was no blood at all.


I wanted to contact a physician and ask them, but I know they'll give me that line of bull that state laws prohibit them from disclosing information over the phone. And he doesn't want to tell his mother because he knows she'll be freaking out.


........


Does anyone know what could have caused this?


As I said, this happened out of the clear blue sky. He told me that there wasn't any pain - only blood.


......

Probably scratched himself.Lots of blood vessels there,can look worse than it really is.If no further bleeding,probably just a scratch.Patty

Im looking for an answer to this aswell
lastnight i noticed something in my belly button when i pulled it out, it was a scab, which scared me quite a bit, but being that i have a headinjury from about 5 years ago i thought the scab might be from my head, but it was when i cleaned out my belly blutton i noticed a good deal of blood on the Q-tip, when i told my mom about it she took a look at it and cleaned it herself there was even more blood on the q-tip, but the bleeding has stopped once it was cleaned out and properly taken care of, but now there is a surge of pain around my belly button but under the skin, i want to know what this is because its got y quite freaked out. If my age might have any leeway in a reply im a 19 year old Male.

OK, the first post was in regards to her boyfriend who had the bloody belly button...I do believe that your sisters issue would not fit him.

You should have started your own thread.

Your question is interesting...is there anything else coming from your belly button, like pus or an odor?

If not, I would keep it clean and dry.

This should help, if not you may need to have it looked at by a professional.

Try cleaning it out with peroxide and if it still smells after a day or two...you may need to see a doctor...

Good Luck...

Ive had this problem for years, Im 21 and have had it going on and off for me since I was 15. When i went to the doctor at that age they said it was a form of hernia, coming out of the belly button. So I just watch what I lift, strain on the stomach and what not. It is currently happening right now.

Does anyone know for sure what this is, or actually gone to the doctor? This just started yesterday, light blood, but very painful, i had to put ice on my stomach last night just to numb the pain away. Very,very painful, around the belly button and can't even touch around it,it hurts so much. Help.

do some research on hemorages umbicial hemorage i believe. my boyfriend is going through the same thing right now. it started 3 weeks ago when he caught a cold/ sinus infection. he was coughing so hard he woke up to a puddle of blood in his stomach. now its spotting in the mornings usually with deep red almost brown dry blood and once its cleaned its watery blood.. hes going to get it checked out finally in a few days. i suggest you offer the same explination to ur dr. it does require surgury.
