Does repairing diastasis recti improve pelvic floor function?

November 15, 2024
Asked By:anhhua20 in Florence, New Jersey

I'm 42 years old. After giving birth to my son 4.5 years ago, I was left with diastasis recti (about 1 finger width above and below belly button). I'm looking for procedures that are minimally invasive (I will say no to full tummy tucks) to repair it but my quesiton is: will repairing also improve my pelvic floor functioning? I have overactive bladder, urge and stress incontinence and very prone to constipation after my son's birth. Thank you for your time.
