Gastric Issues / Umbilical Discharge

[FernandesNY]

I am a 42 year old male.. I was experiencing IBS and excessive gaseous problems past 7-8 years. I visited many doctors / clinics, did various tests, but there were no solution.. doctors advised to reduce your stress. For me whether stress / not, if eat / not eat the gas was generating in my stomach and leaking through anus. (No sounds). While walking, sitting, even sometimes in bed as well. I was not able to control. Not always / not 24 hours.. But mainly after lunch to evening times. Because of my tension in front of others I always used to go to restrooms and try to make sure that nothing pending to discharge that create gas in front of others. But this worsened my IBS activity. People in order to take advantage on me they tried to sneeze etc in front of me as teasing. However, me and my society gradually accepted the condition as part of my life and I practiced to control my food and exercise, like avoided non veg, regular walking etc (the only way I found to manage the condition as doctors could not recommend anything).

Now about one month I found discharge from umbilicus (belly button) a red / yellow colour discharge with foul smell. This discharge is drying and when removed there are hairs found as clouted in it. Past 2-3 years I found that there is some dirt accumulated in my belly button one or two times in a week with hairs in it with bad smell (no discharge but it was slight wet). I remove them when found thinking that because of the body sweat it happened (not reported to any doctor). Now about one month I found discharge from umbilicus (belly button) a red / yellow colour discharge with foul smell. This discharge is drying and when removed there are hairs found as clouted in it. But now the discharge is very severe and I cannot walk / move / sleep it makes my clothes wet with blood and puzz and bad odour to body.

I given a very detailed description of my situation for the medical professionals / others to understand the situation and comment.

It is probably an infection, maybe something like staff or strep.  You need antibiotics to cure this which you need to see a doctor to get.

I am not in a facility to consult a doctor immediately, could you please guide common and worse possibilities of this puzz and common medicines, thanks

[patient915]

No, it is not connected to anything.  You can ask you doctor about doing a culture of the pus to see what bacteria is growing and therefore which antibiotic you should be on.

[FernandesNY]

Thank you.. is it connected to urine bladder.. the puzz is coming out still.. nothing seen from outside..  I am cleaning every day twice with Hydrogen Peroxide.. when press surrounding stomach area more puzz is coming ..
Is there any general antibiotics for control puzz and heal infection. I have no medical allergy issues..

Well, your belly button isn't connected to your GI tract at all.  It is possible that you ended up with a small infection or abscess near your bellybutton and the relation to drinking water is coincidental.

I took blood test, stools tests, some tubes through mouth and anus tests, scan etc at various stages. I took bath everyday and clean bb. when i take food / drink water i feel some leak is coming through bb slightly. I showed a doctor he told he want to take further tests on tissues

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  What tests have your doctor run?  Do you take a shower everyday and clean your bellybutton in the shower?
