is it safe to go on thrill rides with separated stomach muscles?

Question

Peter D. Geldner, MD · Answer

I wouldn't recommend thrill rides for patients with hernias. They might suffer incarceration which can lead to intestinal death. However, a diastasis is a separaion of the muscles with no discrete hole. The tissue bulges but nothing can be trapped. So if all you have is separated muscles, take the ride and have fun.

Afshin Parhiscar, MD · Answer

Dear TaylorMuscle separation in itself is not impacted by thrill rides. If uncomfortable, a support garment might provide additional support.

Erik Miles, MD, FACS · Answer

Abdominal muscle separation or weakness is not a contraindication to go on thrill rides.  The condition is not a true hernia which potentially might be a contraindication. There is no danger having laxity of the abdominal wall muscles.

Joubin Gabbay, MD · Answer

I am assuming you mean a rectus diastasis when you describe separated abdominal muscles. In general, there should be absolutely no contraindications to going on a thrill ride. Of course, if you have any questions, you should absolutely seek the advice of a board-certified plastic surgeon or your primary care doctor as a start.I wish you the best.Dr. Gabbay.
