Diástasis de rectos - Symptom

Síntomas:

Una diástasis de rectos luce como una cresta que baja por la mitad del área ventral; se estira desde el fondo del esternón hasta el ombligo y se incrementa con la tensión muscular.

En los bebés, el trastorno se observa más fácilmente cuando el bebé intenta sentarse y es posible que no se note cuando el bebé está acostado boca arriba y relajado. Cuando el bebé está relajado, a menudo se pueden sentir los bordes de los músculos rectos.

La diástasis de rectos se observa comúnmente en mujeres que tienen embarazos múltiples, dado que los músculos se han estirado muchas veces. La piel y tejido blando sobrante en la parte frontal de la pared abdominal pueden ser los únicos signos de este trastorno a comienzos del embarazo, mientras que en la etapa final del embarazo, la parte superior del útero con frecuencia se ve protruyendo de la pared abdominal. Igualmente, en algunos casos graves, es posible ver un contorno de partes del feto.

Pruebas y exámenes:

El médico puede diagnosticar este trastorno llevando a cabo un examen físico.
