What Causes Protruding Belly Button That Feels Like Soft Mushy Bubble?

I am a 54 year old male. I just noticed that today I have a protruding belly button. It feels like a soft mushy bubble. It was never there. I am disabled. I have spinal column injuries from being hit by a drunk driver. I am legally disabled for the past 2 years. I do not lift anything heavy, or sit on my tailbone. I am not obese, although I no longer have a very flat stomach because I cannot do sit ups. I am alone and now frightened.I only have Medicare. My only income is SS Disability. I don t know what to do. Can you please guide me? ...I just saw that there is a charge for this.I m sorry but I don t get my disability check until the 3rd of March. I only have $4.00 in my checking account and I do not have credit cards. Please excuse me for taking up your time. I guess I ll phone my church or an ambulance because I m very scared.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
You could probably be having umbilical hernia. Umbilical hernia in simpler words means that your intestine has protruded through a defect or gap in your navel. Hernia becomes prominent from coughing, strenous work etc.
You need to consult a surgeon.
Hope this helped.
Take care
