@radyrahbanmd: Have you ever been told your “mom pooch” is just cosmetic — when it actually feels weak, painful, or limiting? This beautiful patient had a severe diastasis recti and a hernia — two conditions that often go hand in hand post pregnancy. Layer by layer, I repaired the separation and reinforced the abdominal wall to restore her structural strength. Often times women are told to just work out the core more. However, the issue is deeper than that - it’s an anatomical one that requires a surgical intervention to manually strengthen the weakened and separated abdominal wall. Happy to report, our patient is feeling much better, stronger than ever, pain eliminated and no more need for modified workouts. Thrilled for her. Questions about diastasis or hernias?
