MY 6 year old daughter has a protruding umbilical cord this makes her really uncomfortable in front of her age mates. If pressed inward it produces a funny sound can anything be done for her.

Hello,
Most probably this is an umbilical hernia. You need to consult a surgeon for further examination and treatment

Hello.welcome.this is most likely umbilical hernia.Surgical repair is rarely needed(3 in 1000) as most resolve by the age of 3 years.If your daughter is older than 3 years then you should consult a pediatric surgeon.Good luck.
