It sounds like you’re referring to the dimples some people have on their lower back, just above the buttocks! These are called “dimples of Venus” (or sacral dimples) and are a natural anatomical feature—not a cause for concern.
What They Mean:
-
Genetic Trait – They’re caused by a slight indentation where the skin attaches to the pelvis. About 20-30% of people have them, more commonly women.
-
No Medical Significance – They don’t indicate health issues, but in very rare cases, deep dimples can be linked to spinal conditions (like spina bifida if accompanied by other symptoms).
-
Fitness Lore – Some say they’re a sign of strong glutes or low body fat, but they’re mostly just genetics!
Myth Busting:
-
❌ “You’re special/unhealthy if you have them” → Nope, just anatomy!
-
❌ “Only fit people have them” → Not true—they can appear at any weight.
Fun fact: In art history, these dimples were considered a symbol of beauty (hence the name “Venus” after the Roman goddess).
If you’re curious about other body quirks, ask away! 😊
