Hello,
First possibility is of a fungal infection of the belly button which may produce foul smelling yellowish or black discharge from the fungus and belly button is a humid place for fungus to thrive. If however the discharge is present throughout then possibility of a fistula is there where an abnormal passage forms between one organ like intestines and the outside of the skin.
If the symptoms persist then get an evaluation done from a gynecologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
