A member asked:

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

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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.

Dr Jacobson agreed
