I have severe diastasis recti. At what point would it be considered an abdominal wall ventral hernia?
MelsaahMay 13, 2016
My separation is so wide that upon laying down I can feel and literally grab my intestinal track. CT scan did not see a true hernia because the defect disappears in the supine position. It only confirmed the separation. There has to be something other than the separation causing the pain and discomfort I'm feeling. Im concerned that it may eventually turn into a hernia because at the moment nothing can support my abdomen to prevent it from becoming wider than it already is.Trying to be proactive
