What symptom can rectus abdominis separate have

summary

During pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, the enlarged uterus will make the abdominal wall expand and extend, and the rectus abdominis on both sides will separate from the position of the abdominal midline, that is, the abdominal white line. Let's take a look at the following.

What symptom can rectus abdominis separate have

First, the situation of each individual's abdominal wall is different, the strength of rectus abdominis is different, and the width and strength of the abdominal white line in the center of the anterior abdominal wall are also different. Women with relatively weak rectus abdominis, low strength of abdominal white line and large width of abdominal white line are more likely to have rectus abdominis separation.

Second: because of the repeated stretching of the abdominal wall, it is easy to lead to the relaxation and weakness of the abdominal wall in prolific women. Multiple pregnancy, fetal size, amniotic fluid and other pregnancy caused by a variety of circumstances can lead to excessive expansion and extension of the abdominal wall. These factors in patients with relatively weak abdominal wall may lead to excessive widening of the abdominal white line, excessive separation of rectus abdominis to both sides, such as postpartum can not recover, and eventually lead to postpartum separation of rectus abdominis. It's just like a spring can't recover its slack when it's stretched too much.

Third: postpartum performance for abdominal wall relaxation swelling, long-term can not recover. Because of the separation of rectus abdominis and the widening of the abdominal white line, the umbilical foramen on the abdominal white line is the weakest, so the umbilical foramen often bulge, which looks like umbilical hernia. When the patient is lying on his back and doing sit ups, he can touch the rectus abdominis on both sides. There is a longitudinal and concave deep "groove" between the rectus abdominis. He can feel that his fingers can be inserted into the abdominal cavity of the patient.

matters needing attention

Some women often do not realize the existence of rectus abdominis separation after childbirth, and the use of sit ups and other incorrect exercise methods eventually lead to further aggravation of separation. Therefore, before starting training, the examination of rectus abdominis separation is very important.
