Umbilical Hernia: Without examining you it sounds most like you have an umbilical hernia. If this aches or hurts you need to get this fixed.

Umbilical hernia: This sounds like an abdominal wall hernia near your umbilicus (belly button). Have your healthcare provider examine you and determine the cause.
