Does cleaning the belly button often (and if we clean deep in it with a qtip) can cause hernia? thank you
Jul 19, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Cleaning the belly often couldn't cause a hernia ,the only thing to worry about is the way of cleaning and the tools used , infection might come due to poor hygiene ,and in that case there will be symptoms of persistent bad odor or is tender or sore. You might have a bacterial or yeast infection that requires special treatment to clear up.
