What is Diastasis Recti?
Diastasis Recti Abdominis is a midline separation at the linea alba of the recti muscles of the abdominal wall.
What are the symptoms of diastasis recti?
Whether you're a man or woman, if you have diastasis recti, you will likely notice a pooch or bulge in your abs. It may be more noticeable when you strain or contract your abdominal muscles, such as when you sit up. In addition to the stomach bulge, you may also experience:
lower back pain,
pelvic girdle pain,
urinary incontinence,
pelvic organ prolapse and
constipation.
In women, the belly expands during pregnancy when the connective tissue gets stretched out, allowing the rectus abdominis to pull apart and separate vertically down the middle. Pregnancy hormones also play a role by relaxing the connective tissue to accommodate your growing baby. You can learn more about diastasis recti here or check out this video to know what a diastasis recti look like.
