hello <font color ="#3b5998"><b> @60eb9b9f8c243b0013a37d7a </b></font><br> Diastasis recti is a condition where rectus abdominis (the "six-pack muscles") is a pair of long, flat muscles that run vertically down each side of abdomen. These muscles hold in internal organs and stabilize core. As your belly expands during pregnancy, 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. Sometimes the tissue heals, and the muscles come back together after delivery when your hormone levels return to pre-pregnancy levels. But if this doesn't happen in three to six months, you can end up with a gap that won't close without treatment. Studies show that about 40 percent of women have a diastasis at six months postpartum. After pregnancy, a diastasis recti looks like a ridge or even a loaf of bread protruding from your midline. The ridge becomes more prominent when you're straining &#8211; from coughing or sitting up, for example. It may disappear or cave in when you lie down or relax abdominal muscles. To check for a diastasis recti, lie on your back, with your knees bent and your feet on the floor. Place your hand palm down over your belly, with your fingers pointing toward your toes. Press your fingers gently into your navel area then slowly lift your head, drawing your chin to your chest. This causes your rectus abdominis to contract.<br> If you feel a gap of at least two finger widths between the muscles as they contract, you have a diastasis. A gap as wide as four or five fingers is considered severe.&#160;<br> Treatment includes physiotherapy and if it not relieved then surgery is recommended..
