Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to umbilical hernia. An abdominal ultrasound is needed to confirm the diagnosis. If the diagnosis is confirmed, surgery is the preferred treatment. Meanwhile I suggest you to avoid constipation and lifting heavy objects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
