What Causes A Smelly Discharge From The Belly Button?

I have been experiencing a lot of pregnancy symptoms;however, five days ago, my belly button started hurting and I've been feeling a tugging like feeling. Now, after six days of dealing with this, and after sex, my belly button started having yellowish, smelly discharge. What could be wrong?

Hello,

This smell is not related to pregnancy so clean it properly and apply Nadoxin ointment locally after washing.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
