Q: pain near belly button when i stretch happens every now and then?

: Umbilical hernia is the first thing that comes to mind. Only a few of these that are &gt; 5-6 cm wide are considered large enough to fix surgically. This is a very simple procedure to close the gap between the rectus abdominis muscles on each side of your mid-abdomen
