HI,
Diastasis recti are a separation between the left and right side of the rectus abdominis muscle, which covers the front surface of the belly area. This is usually asymptomatic unless complicated by hernia.
Abdominal exercises can be done. These should be in the form of pulling in of the abdominal muscles rather than a pushing of them outwards. Consultation of a professional physiotherapist is recommended.
In extreme cases, diastasis recti can be corrected surgically. This is done by creating a plication of the linea alba and suturing together. This creates a tighter abdominal wall.
The answer is based on information provided. Exact advice is not possible without a proper examination and investigations. You are requested to consult your Doctor. Take care and keep us posted.
