It happens due to the increasing distance between the midline or rectus abdominal muscles. This separation is the cause of weakness in the anterior abdominal wall. It\u2019s commonly seen in the pregnant and postpartum individuals.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The rectus abdominal muscles are present vertically in front of the stomach. These are divided into right and left sides by the linea alba tissue. During the pregnancy, the uterus expands. Thus, it creates an abdominal stretch. So, the linea alba becomes thinned and displaced. After the baby is born, the linea alba comes back to its place naturally. But if it loses the elasticity, then the abdominal gaps would not be closed. It is called diastasis recti.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diastasis_Recti_Symptoms\"><\/span><strong>Diastasis Recti Symptoms<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Some common symptoms of diastasis recti are &#8211;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Visible_Gap\"><\/span>1.\u00a0 \u00a0<strong>Visible Gap<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The most common diastasis recti symptom is a visible gap in the middle of the abdomen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Lower_Back_Pain\"><\/span>2.\u00a0 \u00a0<strong>Lower Back Pain<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Diastasis recti causes pain in the lower back portion.
