I have been diagnosed with Diastasis Recti. I constantly get pain in my bladder and testicles and also need to urinate a lot. I work out at the gym daily. Would Diastasis Recti cause these kind of symptoms and can it be fixed. I have seen a Urologist and that was all clear. So I am hoping somebody can help?

Answer: Diastasis Recti Symptoms Thank you for the question. Diastasis recti is simply separation of the rectus muscles from there normal attachment in the middle by stretching. Its is not to be confused with a hernia. I have to wonder how you were diagnosed with diastasis recti and how this was properly distinguished from a hernia. Diastasis recti is usually asymptomatic and I have never seen a case associated with bladder or testicular pain. On the other hand -- these symptoms may be associated with inguinal hernias. I would recommend seeking consultation with a General Surgeon to determine the source of your pain. Your urologist is quite capable of diagnosing an inguinal hernia. I hope this helps.
