I'm 28 years old and I've been having a period cycle of 26 to 27 days. I've recently gotten married and noticed I've gained 8 kgs in just 3 months. Is my period cycle normal, and should I be concerned about the sudden weight gain?

A lump near the belly button can be concerning.

Possible causes:

• Umbilical hernia: A small protrusion of intestine or tissue through a weakened area near the belly button.
• Abscess or cyst: Infected or fluid-filled lump.
• Lipoma: Benign fatty tumor.

Consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They may perform:

• Physical examination
• Imaging tests (ultrasound or CT scan)
• Treatment will depend on the underlying cause.
