Could lower abdomen be protruding for reasons other than diastasis recti? (photos)

February 25, 2024
Asked By:kelsrosado in Tampa, Florida

My physical therapist told me that my diastasis recti is only one finger width and it is only at the top of my navel. I know I do have a large amount of fat and loose skin below my belly button. I have soreness/ tenderness and a pulling feeling in that lower region from right above my pelvic bone to about an inch below the bottom of my navel. I’ve had 3 cesareans, my question is could this lower area be protruding for another reason, I do have bladder prolapse. 5'7 160lb
