A member asked:
Need help docs! my bellybutton sticks out of my stomach about 3cm. should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: There are several reasons why you could have your belly button now sticking out, from benign to worrisome. While this is most likely an umbilical hernia you need to be examined by your doctor to rule out other more serious causes. There is no reason to wait, call and make an appointment asap.
