What are symptoms of umbilical fistula, i'm having mucousy drainage and pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fistula : Fistula is connection between two cavities. Unless you're born with this issue it is less likely fistula . Or unless you had some kind of surgery recently. My guess is simple infection in the umbilical area. You need to be seen by dr.
