Brief Answer:
Paraumbilical Hernia
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
Swelling with no pain in the umbilicus is likely a paraumbilical hernia. Too much stress and abdominal pressure and straining may cause it. Obesity and weight issues predispose to them quite often.
It is easily manageable situation , all it needs is a physical examination first to confirm with some sonograms etc. And then a simple mesh repair fixes it.
Get a general surgeon and let them be the judge of that.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
May the odd be ever in your favour.
