Never pregnant - can I have diastasis recti?

Hi 22Questions,
I agree with your assessment. Again, without seeing you doing a good history and physical exam it is hard to give you a lot of useful information....but the area that you are describing is more consistent with a hernia (inguinal or femoral). This "odd pressure" you feel may be a weakness in the abdominal wall and not a true hernia but over time could eventually become a hernia. Or it could be a pulled muscle, or ovarian pain, or.......Having said all that I recommend evaluation by a general surgeon who can assess your concerns. What you are describing is not a DR, which would be located in the middle of your abdomen and also very unlikely since you have never had children. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Hello, back pain is a common symptom of core muscle instability. That instability can be caused by diastasis recti. Repairing the diastasis and giving you back core stability can significantly improve back pain. As a side note I do not believe the CO2 infiltration from the hysterectomy would have been sufficient to reverse your physical therapy results.

Thank you for your question.

I suggest discussing with your doctor about a possible femoral hernia and a referral to a general surgeon or an ultrasound scan .
