What is the reason for the black spots on the navel after giving birth?

Patient's question:

Appendicitis laparoscopic surgery three years later gave birth to a child, the first child was fine, the second pregnancy started with a bubble from the navel, which had black spots inside. A few days later, it burst, and it was found that the black spots were thread ends. After that, water would occasionally seep out from the navel each year, with a foul smell. Taking medicine for inflammation helped for a while, but then it happened again. When I went to the hospital, they couldn't figure out the reason.

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you clarify your doubts. After laparoscopic appendectomy for three years, you have given birth to two children. The first one was without any issues. During the second pregnancy, you experienced inflammation around the navel, with black thread-like material being extracted. Since then, the navel has been prone to infection and emitting a foul odor. It is recommended to have an abdominal ultrasound to examine the relationship between the navel and abdominal organs, as well as to check for any adhesions. During the laparoscopic surgery, were there any scars at the incision site? If these abnormalities cannot be removed, you can use hydrogen peroxide to clean the areas with a foul odor. After thoroughly cleaning, use alcohol swabs to disinfect the area.
