A member asked:
What do the following symptoms mean: ventral hernia, a tumor and a rectus diastasis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Alphabet Soup: Ventral hernia: a bulge in the abdominal wall; most common site is the umbilicus. Diastasis rectii: separation of the normally-fused "6-pack" rectus muscles; it may look like a hernia but the fascia that covers the muscle is intact; tumor: is simply a growth; it can be benign or malignant (cancer). Hope this helps.
