Any Suggestion For Feeling Hardness Of Cartilage When Touching Belly Button?
If I put my finger in my belly button I can feel a tender nub (internal) that has the hardness of cartilage. It is between pea and marble sized, not sure if I should be worried. I am a TC survivor so any lump or bump freaks me out. I m a 25 yr old male and otherwise healthy.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that this type of hard feeling while touching to the belly area is very unusual and in my opinion this need to be investigated and the best option is ultrasonography and plain x-ray, hope this information helps you take care and have a nice day.
