I'm a healthy 32 year-old male. I workout 2-3 days a week with weights and jog as well. For the past ten days, i've had a belly-button pain accompanied with a discharge from the belly-button. It's not bloody, it looks like a puss substance.

I went into the doctor and since my dad had a history of colon cancer, he sent me in for a catscan two days ago.

I've called for the results the hospital said it would have by today, but they now say wednesday or maybe thursday.

I'm looking for any type of help as to what this could be.

A bit more - there is no blood in my urine or stools, nor does it hurt me to go to the bathroom. The doctor said when he felt around my naval that it felt hard above my belly button.

Though he doesn't expect the worst and feels it most likely is some sort of infection, he did say the hardness above my naval could be because of a fistula or absyss.

I have felt the pain on occasion go down through my urethra, almost like something is pushing on it around my naval. This doesn't happen all of the time and the pain isn't severe, more just an annoyance.

When I do push around my naval and especially above it, that's when the pain is most severe.

I've felt a slight bit of nauseness, but the doctor said that it was probably from the penicillin he's put me on (precautionary) or from the stuff I had to drink before my catscan on saturday. I have not vomited and never really felt like I was going to.

I originally went to the doctor a week ago monday because I felt a b.B. Size thing in my naval. He went in there and took it out and said, "it looks like you had a buildup of something in your naval." I felt instantly better and thought that was it, but the pain got a little worse the next evening and has stayed about the same since. I've been cleaning out my naval 3-4 times a day and it generally has a cue-tip to two size of puss on it.

That's when I went back this past saturday and another doctor sent me in for a catscan just to be safe.

For whatever reason, I seem to notice it less later in the day and more in the morning. Also, if i'm forced to sit for three hours or so, I notice it when I stand up. It's kind of a cramping feeling or like I was gently punched in the stomach.

Anyhow, any information, since my doctors seem like they're just guessing at the moment, would be so greatly appreciated. I feel like someone out there may have gone through this or had an idea what it is and I could suggest it to my doctors as a possibility.

If it is something more serious, i'd like to get it treated immediately to minimalize whatever damage I may have because of this.

Unforunately, the only one who has a sense of true urgency about this is me - the patient.

My dad died of his colon cancer because at age 72, he waited too long to go in and get checked. Once he went in, it seemed the doctors took their sweet time before finally telling him, "well, you have a tumor that is too large to be operated on so we'll give you chemo and hope for the best."

any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to get this thing figured out and diagnosed as quickly as possible.

Thanks
