Reasons:
Stretching of the anterior abdominal wall, which often occurs during pregnancy.
Sudden weight gain or loss.
It is often accompanied by umbilical hernias and hernias of the white line of the abdomen.
Symptoms:
Protrusion in the abdominal area, especially under tension.
A feeling of heaviness or discomfort in the abdomen.
Weakening of the abdominal wall muscles and a change in the shape of the abdomen according to the type of "frog" or "barrel shape".
Effects:
Without treatment, diastasis can progress. Cause disruption of the internal organs of the digestive system, lumbar-pelvic pain.
Лечение
Conservative treatment:
With a small postpartum diastasis, it is possible to attach physical activity and "pump" it. With significant degrees, such treatment is contraindicated. After childbirth, it is recommended to wear a bandage.
Surgical treatment:
In cases of significant muscle divergence or when conservative methods are ineffective, surgery may be required to restore the normal anatomical position of the muscles. Most often, doctors suggest performing an abdominoplasty to restore the normal appearance of the abdomen.
