Adults with foul-smelling running water from the navel may be caused by a variety of reasons, such as umbilical fistula, umbilical inflammation, umbilical-urinary fistula, and infection. Specific treatment should be based on the cause of the disease to treat the cause, including the application of drugs, surgical treatment, etc., the drug should be applied under the guidance of a doctor.
1. Navel infection: if the usual repeated picking navel, may lead to skin breakage of bacterial infection, serious pus, and odor. Need to use alcohol or povidone-iodine to local disinfection, oral antibiotics such as amoxicillin, cefixime, etc. under the guidance of a doctor, the condition of the secretion to do culture and drug sensitivity test. The navel should not be exposed to water during treatment to avoid aggravation of the infection.
2. Navel area soft tissue infection: bacterial growth, reproduction, the formation of purulent inflammation umbilical cord inflammation leads to trauma with pus overflow, appearing running water, containing odor. Available hot saline wet compresses, topical application of gold cream, give adequate amounts of broad-spectrum antibiotics such as penicillin and other treatments.
3. Umbilical fistula: because the ovarian tip is not degraded, the residual fistula between its umbilicus and intestinal tube leads to umbilical fistula, when the intra-abdominal pressure increases, feces can be overflowed from the umbilicus through the fistula. The treatment of yolk tube residual disease, all must be surgically removed, if the umbilical fistula is large, often discharge feces, should be removed as soon as possible open abdominal surgery to prevent intestinal incarceration.
4. Umbilical fistula: between the navel and the bladder, the umbilical ureter does not degenerate and the remnants of the fistula to form an umbilical fistula, when the pressure in the bladder increases, the urine can be passed through the fistula, the umbilicus from the umbilicus overflow. The condition must be treated surgically, and the sooner it is treated the better the outcome, otherwise it is prone to infection.
