What Causes Indent Below The Belly Button And Muscle Pain?
Hi
I was recently talking to my friend and she mentioned she has a indent below her belly button after her 3 c sections and the muscle was pulling. I have had an indent below my belly button for as long as I can remember. Is this genetic or could have I pulled a stomach muscle?

Hello, Welcome to HCM,
Some physical features may are genetic.
If you do not have any pain or other problem, this may be the original shape of your abdominal wall, no chance of pulling a muscle.
But your friend your may be having that indent because of scarring.
There are ,some or other change in original shape size or contour after surgery in few cases.
Hope you have answer to your query.
Good luck.
