Should I Be Worried About Bulge In Navel Which Is Tender To Touch?
For some time I have had a bulge in my navel. No pain. My primary care physician has seen it previously and concluded there was no need to address it except from a cosmetic standpoint. But over the past few days the bulge has grown and become tender to the touch. Is this something I need to get into see my doctor about? Immediately?

Hi,
If the bulge in your navel has grown in size and has become tender, I suggest to schedule an appointment with a general surgeon and to run an abdominal ultrasound.
Hope it helped!
