What Does A Soft Bump Inside The Navel Indicate?
I recently noticed I have a soft bump inside my naval. It s towards the bottom and is soft. I never had this before and must of shown up in the past 2 or 3 days I do a lot of heavy lifting for my job. Just curious if this is something I need to run to a doctor for immediately?

Hello,
It would be better if you attach a photo of the bump into reports for me to see it. I suppose it can be an umbilical hernia. Lifting heavy objects may be the cause of it. You should meet a surgeon to examine it and possibly surgically repair it.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
