"Rectalis abdominis" means the bulge of the abdomen due to the opening of the space between the left and right abdominal muscles....you might call it "abdomen".

This condition is very common in pregnant women.. and almost two-thirds of pregnant women suffer from it.

Children may also have this abdominal distension.. This condition should resolve on its own.

Having more than one child, especially if they are close in age, increases the chance of this condition. If you are over 35 at the time of pregnancy, or if you have a heavy baby, or if you have twins, triplets or more, you are more likely to get it.

Pregnancy puts a lot of pressure on the stomach.. so that sometimes the muscles in front of the body cannot maintain their shape.... "Diastasis" means separation.... "Recti" refers to the abdominal muscles known as "rectus abdominis".

When the abdominal muscles are contracted in this way, there is only a thin band of connective tissue in front of them to hold the uterus, intestines and other organs in place. Without the necessary support from the muscles, a natural birth may be more difficult.

This condition can also cause back pain, constipation and leakage of urine....it can even make it difficult to breathe and move normally....This condition is rare, but in severe cases this tissue can tear and organs protrude through the opening - called a hernia.

Muscle regulation usually regresses after childbirth, but in some studies of women with diastasis recti, the muscle did not return to normal even a year later.

Dos and don'ts of abdominal dissection

Don't apply pressure... Applying pressure can make the condition worse... Constipation and lifting heavy objects like children puts pressure on the connective tissue.... Standing and sitting in this position is similar to lifting weights, because the pressure due to the weight of the body increases.

During labor, the pressure should be downwards, but if this is done incorrectly, it puts too much pressure on the weak abdominal tissue..

Exercise with caution....Some common fitness exercises, such as crunches, sit-ups, swimming, push-ups, and front planks, worsen abdominal separation....swimming, some yoga poses (like downward dog), and doing anything on your hands and knees can do the same..

Treat your abs....Physiotherapists Instructions There are no standards for what movement can restore the abdominal muscles.... Some research has been successful with the Toppler technique.... This technique involves special exercises performed while wearing an abdominal belt that protects and supports the abdominal muscles.

After the connective tissue has healed, some Pilates or other exercises may help you strengthen and rely more on the transversus abdominis (deep core) rather than the external muscles... Not all Pilates or strengthening exercises are good during pregnancy, so make sure you work with a trainer who understands what diastasis recti means.

If you don't have abs before this separation, the best time to start strengthening your abdominal muscles is before pregnancy.

Before starting any exercise during or after pregnancy, be sure to ask your best obstetrician about what is right for you and what you are currently limited to doing.

Abdominal separation treatment

If your belly isn't too big, you might want to live with it..but before you get pregnant again, you need to get those muscles back in shape.

The doctor can measure the separation of the muscles using the width of the fingers, a tape or a measuring tool or ultrasound.... It can then tell if the situation is improving or worsening.

Many women can close their abdominal cleft by learning gentle movements that support the abdomen... Ask your gynecologist... He may refer you to a physical therapist.

If this rehab doesn't work for you, surgery may be done... The operation to correct the diastasis may be called an "abdominoplasty" or "tummy tuck"... The surgeon folds the weak center edge and stitches it together. procedure.
