When can you manage without surgery?
Correction of diastasis is done according to functional indications, since the presence of a defect limits physical activity. With 1 degree of diastasis (with a defect of 1-1.5 cm), it is quite possible to do without surgery, but over time, the first degree can turn into the second. This can be facilitated by heavy physical exertion, lifting weights.
Do not operate on young mothers in the first year following childbirth. Often, due to properly selected exercises, it is possible to ensure that the distasis is eliminated.
If a person does not plan to pump the press (which in itself is not welcome) and he is satisfied with the appearance of the abdomen, then it is possible not to have an operation to eliminate diastasis.
At the same time, if the diastasis is large, then it is still better to agree to the operation.
