oh my god!! I thought i was the only one experiencing this problem. I would have this problem for about a year and a half, when one night by belly swelled up and i was in pain it felt as if something ruptured a couple of weeks later I started experiencing clear discharge, then a yellowish discharge then a reddish brown discharge and sticky which made my belly button inside very sore. i would constantly complain to my doctor and they too did not know where it was coming from. Last year I had a laparoscopy done which I had endometriosis, when they stiched me up my stomach swelled as if I were 9 mths pregnant and the pus that was in my belly spread through out my body , which I remained in the hospital for a month. It has been a year since the surgery and now again just last week i started discharging the same clear- awful smell again and I don't know what to do. I do feel better that there are stories just like mines and that I am not alone. If any suggestions please help. thanks >
