An umbilical hernia is a bulge or swelling in the belly button area. It occurs when part of the intestine or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. Umbilical hernias are common in infants, but they can also occur in adults. In some cases, an umbilical hernia can become incarcerated.
