What type of doctor do I see for diastasis recti and likely hernia?

November 28, 2018
Asked By:shells135 in Rocklin, CA

I have a big bulge above my belly button when I cough and maybe a 3 finger gap in my ab muscles. Have had 3 babies (2 of them 9 lb’ers) amd got the hernia while pregnant with my last. Wondering what type of hernia it could be and who do I see for this? OB said see a primary, primary is saying see a GI. I’m a cash pay patient so I need to keep my office visits to a minimum. Thank you in advance for your advice!!
