A member asked:

I have a small soft growth inside my belly button. i am pregnant and want to know if i can have it removed now. it will have to be surgically removed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wait until after: Unless there is a concern for cancer, it is best to wait to have surgery until after pregnancy is completed.
