What is the best treatment for protruding belly button?

Hernia Surgery: What you are describing sounds like an umbilical hernia. If small and w/o symptoms, these may be rx'd conservatively. Otherwise, simple outpatient surgery can fix the problem. I recommend that you see a hernia surgeon.

Surgery: You most likely have an umbilical hernia, for which the only option is surgical repair.
