Should I Be Concerned About A Sensitive Slight Bulge Below The Belly Button Which Reduces When I Haven't Eaten?
I have a slight bulge when I stretch backward just below my belly button and on my right when looking down at my stomach. It is a slightly sensitive if I push on it while streched back, not crazy painful, just the fact that it is slightly bulged and a bit sensitive is what makes me ask, is it something to watch out for, or is that just a common sensitive spot? Also, it seems to possibly reduce if I havent eaten much, so maybe my digestion is slowing there? But over about a year and a half, it hasnt seemed to get worse at all. And sometimes isnt really there at all.
