Hello and welcome to HCM,
The symptoms of something coming out of a gap above the belly button and going inside when you lay down is suggestive of hernia.
The treatment of hernia is essentially surgical repair.
Passage of blood stained stools suggests some kind of infection, inflammation, ulceration, or growth in the bowel.
Specific investigations like colonoscopy can be done to look for any abnormality in the bowel.
You need to consult your gastroenterologist for clinical examination, relevant investigations and thus management.

Thanks and take care
