A normal person’s navel will secrete a small amount of secretion, and this small amount of secretion may provide some protection. If there is too much secretion, it tends to accumulate in the umbilicus, which can lead to bacterial growth and infection. Severe infections may contain anaerobic bacteria and produce a foul odor. If there is too much secretion, pus flow, you should go to the hospital to confirm whether the patient has the possibility of umbilical cord infection, navel area stink is caused by bacterial reproduction, some anaerobic bacteria may produce some odor.
