Diastasis recti is a separation between the left and right side of the rectus abdominis muscle, which covers the front surface of the belly area.
Causes, incidence, and risk factorsDiastasis recti is a common and normal condition in newborns. It is seen most frequently in premature and African American infants.
In pregnant women, increased tension on the abdominal wall may lead to diastasis recti. Multiple births or repeated pregnancies increase the risk.
Women who are 12 or more weeks pregnant should avoid aggressive abdominal exercises, which may worsen the condition.
SymptomsA diastasis recti looks like a ridge, which runs down the middle of the belly area. It stretches from the bottom of the breastbone to the belly button, and increases with muscle straining.
In infants, the condition is most easily seen when the baby tries to sit up. It may not be seen when the child lies on the back and is relaxed. When the infant is relaxed, you can often feel the edges of the rectus muscles.
Diastasis recti is commonly seen in women who have multiple pregnancies, because the muscles have been stretched many times. Extra skin and soft tissue in the front of the abdominal wall may be the only signs of this condition in early pregnancy. In the later part of pregnancy, the top of the pregnant uterus is often seen bulging out of the abdominal wall. An outline of parts of the unborn baby may be seen in some severe cases.
Signs and testsThe doctor can diagnose this condition by performing a physical exam.
TreatmentNo treatment is needed for pregnant women with this condition.
In infants, the rectus abdominis muscles continue to grow and the diastasis recti gradually disappears. Surgery may be needed if the baby develops a hernia that becomes trapped in the space between the muscles.
Expectations (prognosis)The patient usually does very well. In most cases, diastasis recti usually heals on its own.
Pregnancy-related diastasis recti usually persists long after the woman gives birth. Exercise may help improve the condition. Umbilical hernia may occur in some cases. If pain is present, surgery may be needed.
ComplicationsIn general, complications only result when a hernia develops.
Calling your health care providerCall your health care provider immediately if a child with diastasis recti develops redness or pain in the abdomen, has persistent vomiting, or cries constantly.

I have diastasis recti. The doctor said my organs spills out. it hurts and cause nausea.
1 answer
Diastasis recti is a condition where the rectus abdominis muscles separate, causing a bulge in the abdomen. It commonly occurs during or after pregnancy due to the growing uterus putting pressure on the abdominal muscles. Physical therapy and specific exercises can help improve diastasis recti.

Yes, it's possible for a man to have a diastasis recti. They just don't do it as often because women's abdomens are more likely to go through rapid, marked growth.

An unusually large gap between your pelvic bones. I'm currently suffering from it in my second pregnancy due to damage done during the delivery of my first child. There is not much information about it, and at least in pregnancy, there is not much you can do about it.

Some insurances will and some won't. A plastic surgeon's office would be able to advise you. Contact one and see if you can get an inexpensive consultation in contemplation of surgery.

The diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle shortens the most in response to tachycardia. This includes the time spent in ventricular filling (diastasis) and atrial contraction (atrial systole), as these phases are compressed to accommodate the faster heart rate.
1 answer
That or it could be an ambilical hernia, not life threatening like most hernias, but still could cause damage. My husband has one, I've had two kids and it never hurt to push my naval until after I had them. Which is due to diastasis.
1 answer
A muscle disorder of the abdominal wall is known as a rectus diastasis or diastasis recti. This condition occurs when the linea alba (connective tissue separating the rectus abdominis muscles) stretches and causes the muscles to separate, leading to a bulging or protrusion of the abdomen. It may result from pregnancy, obesity, or heavy lifting, and can sometimes cause pain or weakness in the abdominal area.
2 answers
YES! To close abdominal separation you need to first build A LOT of strength in your deepest abdominal muscle, your Transverse Abdominis. Then you need to do specialized postpartum exercises that train the muscle to function properly as a stabilizer.
Women with diastasis recti should NOT perform ANY abdominal exercises that lift/roll the upper body off the floor or against the force of gravity as these types of movements make diastasis worse. This means no crunches, sit-ups, oblique pulses, roll downs/roll ups, Pilates mat work that uitlize the head-float position, and certain yoga asanas such as "boat pose."

Prominent diastasis recti refers to a separation of the abdominal muscles that is noticeable or more severe than usual. This can result in a visible bulge or doming of the abdominal area, especially when the person engages their core muscles or performs certain movements. It may cause functional limitations or require specialized exercises or treatments to improve.
1 answer
Your abs may stick out due to a condition called diastasis recti, where the abdominal muscles separate. To address this issue, you can try exercises that strengthen the core muscles, such as planks and pelvic tilts. It's also important to maintain good posture and avoid movements that strain the abdominal muscles. Consulting a healthcare provider or physical therapist for personalized guidance is recommended.

Flexing your abs while pregnant is generally not recommended as it can put unnecessary strain on the abdominal muscles and potentially lead to complications such as diastasis recti, where the abdominal muscles separate. This can affect the health of the mother by causing discomfort and potentially delaying postpartum recovery. Additionally, excessive abdominal flexing can restrict blood flow to the uterus, which may impact the baby's growth and development. It is important for pregnant women to consult with their healthcare provider before engaging in any strenuous abdominal exercises.

Clinical Policy Bulletin:
Abdominoplasty, Suction Lipectomy, and Ventral Hernia Repair
Number: 0211
Policy
Aetna considers panniculectomy/apronectomy medically necessary according to the following criteria:
The medical records document that the panniculus causes chronic intertrigo (dermatitis occurring on opposed surfaces of the skin, skin irritation, infection or chafing) that consistently recurs over 3 months while receiving appropriate medical therapy (e.g., oral or topical prescription medication), or remains refractory to appropriate medical therapy over a period of 3 months.
Aetna considers panniculectomy/apronectomy cosmetic when these criteria are not met.
Aetna considers panniculectomy/apronectomy experimental and investigational for minimizing the risk of hernia formation or recurrence. There is inadequate evidence that pannus contributes to hernia formation. The primary cause of hernia formation is an abdominal wall defect or weakness, not a pulling effect from a large or redundant pannus.
Aetna considers repair of a true incisional or ventral hernia medically necessary.
Aetna considers abdominoplasty, suction lipectomy, or lipoabdominoplasty cosmetic.
Background
In order to distinguish a ventral hernia repair from a purely cosmetic abdominoplasty, Aetna requires documentation of the size of the hernia, whether the ventral hernia is reducible, whether the hernia is accompanied by pain or other symptoms, the extent of diastasis (separation) of rectus abdominus muscles, whether there is a defect (as opposed to mere thinning) of the abdominal fascia, and office notes indicating the presence and size of the fascial defect.
Abdominoplasty, known more commonly as a "tummy tuck," is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure can improve cosmesis by reducing the protrusion of the abdomen. However, abdominoplasty is considered by Aetna to be cosmetic because it is not associated with functional improvements

Diastole is the phase in the cardiac cycle that allows filling of blood into the ventricle. It corresponds to the lower number in the blood pressure measurement. A normal upper limit of the blood pressure falls in the range less than 120/80 mm Hg. Above this value, it is considered pre-hypertension based on The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure.
During the diastolic period the ventricle is in the fifth phase of the cardiac cycle. This phase is termed isovolumetric relaxation which occurs immediately after the second heart sound. In this phase, all valves of the heart are closed. The volume of blood in the ventricle during this phase of the cardiac cycle remains constant. Following the fifth phase of the cardiac cycle is the rapid filling of blood into the ventricle. This cycle corresponds to the opening of the mitral and tricuspid valves located between the left and right atria and ventricle, respectively. The next phase of the cardiac cycle, called diastasis, is the longest phase of the cardiac cycle. In this cycle, the ventricle continues to fill with blood but at a much slower rate. The final phase of diastole corresponds to the first phase of the cardiac cycle. In this phase of the cardiac cycle, the atria contracts to provide additional filling of blood into the ventricle. After the final phase of diastole, the systolic phase of the cardiac cycle begins.

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is a congenital (present from birth) growth disorder that causes large body size, large organs, and other symptoms.
Causes, incidence, and risk factorsThe cause of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is unknown, but it may be genetic. Most cases are associated with a defect in chromosome number 11.
Infancy can be a critical period because of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), omphalocele (when present), and an increased rate of tumor development. Wilm's tumor and adrenal carcinoma are the most common tumor's in patients with this syndrome.
SymptomsThe signs of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome include:
Tests for Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome include:
Infants with low blood sugar may be treated fluids given through a vein ( intravenous solutions).
Defects in the abdominal wall may need to be repaired. The child must be watched closely for the development of tumors.
Expectations (prognosis)Children with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome who survive infancy do well, although no long-term follow-up information is available. Mental development appears to be normal to very slightly decreased. Swelling of the tongue can cause problems with feeding and sleeping.
ComplicationsIf you have a child with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and worrisome symptoms develop, call your pediatrician immediately.
PreventionThere is no known prevention for Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. Genetic counseling may be of value for families who would like to have additional children.

Trisomy 18 is a genetic disorder in which a person has a third copy of genetic material from chromosome 18, instead of the usual two copies.
Alternative NamesEdwards syndrome
Causes, incidence, and risk factorsTrisomy 18 is a relatively common syndrome. It is three times more common in girls than boys. The syndrome is caused by the presence of extra material from chromosome 18. The extra material interferes with normal development.
SymptomsExamination of the pregnant woman may show an unusually large uterus and extra amniotic fluid. An unusually small placenta may be seen when the baby is born.
Physical examination of the infant may show unusual fingerprint patterns. X-rays may show a short breast bone. Chromosome studies show trisomy 18, partial trisomy, or translocation.
Other signs include:
There are often signs of congenital heart disease, such as:
Tests may also show kidney problems, including:
Treatment of children with Trisomy 18 is planned on a case-by-case basis. Which treatments are used depends on the patient's individual condition.
Support GroupsFifty percent of infants with this condition do not survive beyond the first week of life. Some children have survived to the teenage years, but with serious medical and developmental problems.
ComplicationsComplications depend on the specific defects and symptoms.
Calling your health care providerCall your health care provider and genetic counselor if you have had a child with Trisomy 18 and you plan to have another child. Genetic counseling can help families understand the condition, the risks of inheriting it, and how to care for the patient.
PreventionPrenatal diagnosis of trisomy 18 is possible with an amniocentesis or chorionic villus samplingand chromosome studies on amniotic cells. Parents who have a child with translocational Trisomy 18 and want additional children should have chromosome studies, because they are at increased risk of having another child with Trisomy 18.
