Wont help: This a spreading of your two rectus halves with thinning of the conection not made of muscle made of fascia thin fascia wont become stronger. With exercise.

Question 6

why does the abdomen feel hard after the repair of diastasis recti with mesh?

Accepted Answer

Tighter: Repair of the diastasis tightens the abdominal wall and would lead to a flatter firmer stomach. Mesh allows for ingrowth of tissue which would give rise to firmer area.

Question 7

why does my abdomen feel hard when standing after repair of diastasis recti with mesh?

That sounds normal -: To me. The mesh and scar tissue both would cause hardness/tightening of the abdo wall. In my opinion that was the aim of the procedure, to prevent the diastasis from recurring.

That works!: Belly binding wrap around your torso to help close the diastasis recti gap, 'hold you in', and add support to your lower back.
