I can feel and see an large mound/lump on my abdomen when I lean back slightly while sitting or standing. Is it diastasis recti? I first noticed this lump while pregnant with my first child (gained 20 lbs, 5 lb baby). I was so huge with my second child that I didn't notice it (gained 50 lbs, 8.6 lb baby). I've lost 30 lbs since Jan. but I notice that the area just above my belly button continues to protrude.
Answer: Diastasis Recti Hello, it can be diastasis recti , possible hernia or a mass. This should be examined to tell for sure. To me it looks like a diastasis recti but a in person consultation is required. With a diastasis while doing a situp you can see this bulge protrude in the midline running down towards the belly button. However, this should be examined by a surgeon to know for sure. Thanks.

Answer: Diastasis recti Judging from your photos and the info provided, you probably have diastasis recti, which is separation of the abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck can repair this.

Answer: Is This Diastasis Recti?
As all the expert previous poster have stated, "it is a CLASSIC diastasis recti" BUT (there is always a but!) you need an ultrasound or sonogram evaluation of the area just to follow a diagnostic algorithm for diastasis vs hernia.

Answer: Diastasis recti
Yes. This is a diastasis recti as is very common, and not surprising in your case. It is not serious and is not a hernis. A tummy tuck procedure may be performed along with repairing this.

Answer: Weakness of the abdominal wall (rectus diastasis)
Based on your photo it does appear that you have rectus diastasis, which is a weakness of the abdominal wall. This does not represent a hernia, which is a defect or hole in the abdominal wall. This weakness would be repaired and tightened at the time of a tummy tuck. A board certified plastic surgeon can examine you and determine the extent of your abdominal wall weakness.
Best wishes,
Dr.Bruno
