A member asked:

Unusual watery discharge from the depths of my belly button...how do i get rid of it? i've cleaned it, dried it. nothing seems to work.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See answer: Infection/irritation is most common cause of bellybutton discharge but a persistent watery discharge as you describe suggests the more uncommon cause known as "urachal remnant." before birth, there is a connection between the bellybutton and the bladder, called the urachus, which normally closes before birth. A patent (open) urachus allows urine to drain from bladder to navel. See md for diagnosis.
