Is The Fear Of The Navel Tearing Open Irrational?
My girlfriend is quite worried that her belly button could possibly tear open. I know when I was little it was a fear of mine but I ve grown out of being afraid of it. Is there any possibility that a belly button may rip open, or is it an irrational fear?

Hello dear! Thank you for writing us here. That's really a cute question you know. :)
And guess what? There's nothing to worry about because your belly button is very strong. It won't open up on itself so don't worry. Your belly button has fat underneath and then muscle so no need to worry to loose your organs from there.
Regards,
Dr Gunjan
