Patent Urachus - A foul smell and discharge from the belly button can be due to a condition known as patent urachus. The urachus is a tube connecting the bladder and the umbilicus. Normally, the urachus closes after birth. However, there are instances when this does not happen. An open urachus results in bacterial and fungal infections that lead to foul odor and discharge in the belly button.
