Diastasis Recti treatment in Cancún

Diastasis recti is the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles along the midline, where the connective tissue that joins them loosens and widens. It is common after pregnancy or with a sustained increase in pressure inside the abdomen.

Common signs: a vertical bulge or protrusion is usually noticeable in the center of the belly when straining, sitting up, or lifting weight, sometimes accompanied by discomfort or weakness in the trunk area.

Common causes: the changes of pregnancy, rapid weight gain, and repeated abdominal straining are among the most associated factors.

Which specialist evaluates it? The general surgeon is usually the one who assesses the degree of separation and guides the options; the general practitioner can be a useful first visit. If you notice this bulge or have doubts about how it is progressing, a professional evaluation will help you better understand your case.
