A member asked:
I have a hard area right below my belly button?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard Area Abdomen: From all the information it appears that it may be either a hernia or it may be some inflammed gland. You need to get it checked by a doctor to find the exact nature of it. Hernia usually is painless but it may cause discomfort or pain when it becomes obstructed.
