A member asked:
I have protruded umbilicus since i was 2 and i am 21now. is it considered to be a disorder or just remnant of embryological cord or something?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be hernia: A protrusion at the navel is usually due to a gap in the muscles where the umbilical vessels entered. This is common and is called an umbilical hernia and usually doesn't cause any problems. Occasionally bowel will get trapped in it and require surgery but this is not something that happens frequently. The only way to correct it is with a surgical hernia repair. Hope this helps.
