Some girls, like some people in general, do not have belly buttons.
Why Some People Don't Have Belly Buttons
While most people have a belly button (also known as the navel), there are situations where a person might not have one. This is not related to being a girl or a boy, but to other factors.
According to a reference, the absence of a belly button is often linked to:
- Surgical History: Some surgeries, particularly those involving the abdomen, may result in the removal or alteration of the belly button.
- Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions experienced during infancy or childhood can impact how the belly button forms, or prevent it from forming properly.
- Anomalies in Formation: Sometimes, during development, the belly button might not form in the typical way, resulting in its absence or a very different appearance.
"Some people don't have a belly button, and the reason for this may be related to surgical history or just an anomaly in how the belly button formed (or didn't, for that matter). Most of the time, if you don't have a belly button, it's related to a surgery or a medical condition you had when you were younger." - 16-Apr-2020
Understanding Belly Button Formation
It is also important to understand what a belly button actually is:
- The belly button is essentially a scar. It forms after the umbilical cord, which connects a fetus to its mother, is cut after birth.
- The way the umbilical cord is cut and how the scar heals will determine the final shape and appearance of the belly button.
Conclusion
The presence or absence of a belly button does not depend on gender, but on various medical or developmental factors. It is possible for anyone, including some girls, to not have a belly button.
