Is there discharge with a umbilical hernia?

No: Hernias are associated with bulges not discharge.

Not typically : But if the umbilicus is very deep ( i.e., very fat abdomen ) one can develop yeast infections that drain and itch. There are some other more rare things that can drain thru the umbilicus. See a surgeon to evaluate
