Question 1

what is your bellybutton connected to as an adult?

Accepted Answer

Nothing!: The bellybutton is essentially scar tissue (left over from the neonatal umbilical cord) that is fused with the abdominal wall.  There are some pediatric surgical problems involving remaining attachments to the umbilical stump, but normally the belly button is not "attached" to anything.  In fact, many laparascopic surgeries use the belly button as an entry point into the abdomen.

Accepted Answer

Not true: Embryologically speaking, there is a loose connection, both being part of immature forming GI tract, but there is no physical connection, which is what you are asking, i think?

: Probably you have a urachal duct cyst, a minor congenital abnormality. If infected, it is very common for additional infections to occur. Speak with your doctor about the possibility of surgery to remove the cyst. That's probably the only way to stop having infections.
