What To Do If Belly Button Is Leaking A Smelly Liquid Especially When Period Is Approaching?
For a year now on and off my belly button has been leaking smelly fluid. I have no pain at all. I went to the doctor when it first started he said nothing to worry about it is your intestines secreting. But im still worried its been a year and it still leaks epecially when my period is approaching. What do i do?

Hello
Welcome to HCM
I will advise you to visit another gastro dr and get your scan done. If its leaking from so long, a year then you should gt to know weather it is associated with some cyst or abscess which is only possible by ultrasound or an xray. Leaking some fluid means something infectious is running around.
Wish you a good health
Thank you
