What Causes Protruding Belly Button?
I am a male, 33 years old with no known health issues. I am in decent shape and not overweight but my belly button has been protruding more and more over the last year or so. I once had an inny but half of it is now an outy. Any idea what could be the reason for this?

Hello,
It can be due to hernia or infection. Doing an ultrasound abdomen help to diagnose the cause. Share a picture for better understanding.
