pyyxxaro:Most parts of old Bendel na POMPU POMPU. ![]() It's actually umbilical hernia. It needs to be fixed surgically because as her abdominal muscle will get weaker with age, it could be a problem. Intestines could push out (protrude) through the herniated umbilicus. |

It is caused by infection. Umbilical cord/navel handling is very delicate and requires experience. That is why Genz Google mums can't overstress the need for Grandma's help for Omugwo. |

Therock5555:That's good Sha. But money is a noisy spirit. Once it comes everyone would know. Because your dressing, accommodation, mobility and everything around you would change. |

I still suffer from this till today because even though it has shrunken considerably, it still makes wearing a corporate shirt tie and belt a huge challenge for me because no matter how much I pack it up with my beer belly, it always makes me uncomfortable and gets me unwanted attention Mine's still bigger than the one in the pix ![]()

Ibkay32:The most common cause of a big or pointed navel is an umbilical hernia |
| Re: What Causes Big Or Pointed Navel? by Wadoh: 4:39pm On Jul 31, 2025 |
A big or pointed navel can be caused by: Umbilical hernia – intestine pushing through the belly wall, often painless but can become serious. Body fat – central weight gain can make the navel bulge. Genetics – some people naturally have "outie" navels. Post-surgery/pregnancy – stretched or weakened abdominal muscles can change the navel’s shape. Fluid buildup (ascites) – from liver or heart issues, can push the belly outward. See a doctor if it’s sudden, painful, discolored, or comes with other symptoms. Ibkay32: |

I have never seen a single Asian, especially Chinese, with this "problem ". Theirs are a beauty to behold. Especially the ladies. Just "kpom" like a dot on a paper. Firm flat belly with this sexy "kpom"! Very beuriful to see. I think our nurses need to be trained more on this. They might be the reason. |

May be placenta isn't properly cut, that's why it would start growing. So, better to seek doctor advice to stop growing, because it may be not comfortable for you in the future. |

Oritna94:Is the surgery difficult or easy stuff? Some people are willing to go that route but are just afraid of getting complications while at it. |

Gbadugbakun:Are u serious? I will research, though |

I had this kind of navel growing up too. At some point, people even described me by it—it became part of my identity. I remember fighting back then, and somehow, some people were afraid of me. I became a kind of “terror” if they describe me with that feature. Funny enough, my navel is so small now. How time changes things. |

For ladies I hear it goes away after pregnancy. |

Gbadugbakun:I wasn't going to post on this thread until I came across this comment. Please use the internet and be guided on umbilical hernia. What you think is the reason is a wrong, harmful and incorrect stereotype, although I can't deny the contribution good health care facilities does. I know you are smart enough to find out that this claim of yours is untrue. By the way, people have been giving birth for thousands of years, maybe you think African traditional practices are ignorant and don't know how to take care of their offspring.

yomi531:This is also wrong. Guys, you have the internet on your fingertips, use it! There are research papers in journals to destroy this stereotype that comes from ignorance and projection. I will give you a soft landing though because you wrote "from my observation". A lot of people sit in their homes, with limited travel and exposure and draw wrong conclusions about life. It's annoying. |

So many wrong assertions on this thread . Anyway I think genetics is a factor some families seem to be genetically disposed to it. |
Please What Can Be The Cause Of Navel Pain • What Causes White Particles To Float In Urine Of A Male? • What Causes Sweating And Body Odour. • 2 • 3 • 4
MRI Machine At UCH Ibadan Is Not Working. Patients Suffering. • Bathing Every Day Not The Best? • Facial Treatment With Live Snail

. Can't believe mine has become so small despite all the body shaming I got as a kid......I remembered me asking my mom what crime I committed as a baby that made her to let me have this kind of belly button
