Patient's question:
More than a year ago, every time I touched my navel, I felt like there was something inside and it smelled bad. Even after washing it, the situation didn't improve within a few days. Now I don't even know what to do. I want to ask why my navel smells so bad?Doctor's answer:
The navel has a normal smell, and the navel has a smell because it is connected to the abdominal cavity. The umbilical cord is connected to the mother before birth. The child absorbs nutrients through the mother's navel, and the child after birth also absorbs nutrients. The navel naturally closes. In the absence of special circumstances, if you often rub the part with your hands or use other items, and there is no smell or other odor in the navel, and local discomfort is caused by other reasons, then there may be an odor or other odor. There may be other odors in the navel, but this is not a serious disease. As long as good hygiene habits are developed, various odors can be avoided.
