I guess I have this thing since 2019, bcos I look back my previous photo where its there but not sure if it's obvious as now.

This thing there is very soft and it's inside my belly button. Is it umbilical hernia?

I check umbilical hernia is hard, and usually above the belly button. Or just bcos I gained some weight? I'm quite a fatty now.

Pls advise tq

that is just a small umbilical hernia, so small that you should only observe it and if you go to a doctor with it, you will lose only time and money.

Thanks rinsed pie,
However after I noticed this hernia I starts to worried and feel discomfort here and there. Not sure if my psychology or what.

Cn do exercise to revert it?

Exercise will not help to reduce it. I personally think this do not have any harmful health effect. You may ask your doctor whether this is true.

Dear Rachel, thanks for your input.

You have encounter this before? Usually happens to women after pregnancy

u hv 2 muscles there side by side in your abdomen; the rectus abdominis,(look at those six-packs); if they separated, you get divarication of rectus abdominis.. gives you hernia too; now in this case exercise woulda strengthened them muscles around the area. what u hv here may not involve those muscles, just a weakness at where the umbilical cord was, made more prominent in your case maybe due to new weight gain or new bouts of coughs.

yeah, may well be psychological.

mind you, that umbilical hernia could get bigger if gain weight or lose muscle bulk eg in protein malnourishment etc
