What Causes Pain And Clear Discharge In Belly Button?

My belly button has been hurting & when I went to unbotton my pants due to pain, it was bloody & then oozing clear. Is it an umbilical hernia? Or just infection? I also currently have a bladder infection which I get all the time due to institial cystitis?

Thanks for asking in Healthcaremagic Forum

In Short: Umbilical granuloma/oomphalitis can cause this

Explanation: Bloody discharge from umbilicus points towards infection or infected granuloma. Sometimes persistent urachus(persistent connection between bladder and umbilicus in foetal period) can cause frequent discharge from umbilicus.
So, visit a surgeon to get yourself checked for this. Hope you have contacted doctor for your cystitis to get treated.
Good luck.
