Belly Button Discharge

Belly Button Discharge (Umbilical Discharge) refers to oozing or secretion from the navel due to infection, cyst formation, poor hygiene, or underlying congenital abnormalities. The discharge may be serous (clear), purulent (pus-like), bloody, or foul-smelling, depending on the cause. In adults, it is often linked to bacterial or fungal infection, foreign body irritation, or poor cleanliness, while in infants, it may occur from umbilical granuloma or urachal anomalies.

Homeopathy aims to treat belly button discharge by addressing the underlying infection, inflammation, or constitutional weakness that predisposes the person to such conditions. Remedies are selected based on the type of discharge, presence of pain, odor, and systemic symptoms. Homeopathy promotes healing, prevents recurrence, and strengthens the immune response naturally, without antibiotics or harsh chemicals.
