Is Belly Button Facing Outwards A Medical Problem?
I have an outie belly button. In the last year its gotten larger. It is now 1 inch wide, 1/2 inch approx high. I dont have pain. I do work out. I am about to run 3 miles, Every other day I lift for an hour. I dont like the look of it and am wondering if there is a medical problem
The belly button facing out can be an indication of umbilical hernia. It can be confirmed with an abdominal ultrasound. It is not something to be worried.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
