Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Until you face some symptoms there is no need to worry about it much, but I suggest you to take USG of the abdomen to rule out umbilical hernia.
If you have symptoms you can consult a surgeon for further management.
Hope your doubts are cleared.
Regards,
Dr. Indhu Priyadharshini,
General & Family Physician
