Diástasis de rectos - Treatment

Tratamiento:

No se necesita tratamiento para mujeres embarazadas que presenten este trastorno.

En los bebés, los músculos rectos mayores del abdomen siguen creciendo y la diástasis de dichos músculos desaparece gradualmente. Es posible que se necesite una cirugía si el bebé presenta una hernia que queda atrapada en el espacio entre los músculos.

Expectativas (pronóstico):

El paciente generalmente se recupera sin problema y, en la mayoría de los casos, la diástasis de rectos por lo general sana de manera espontánea.

La diástasis de rectos relacionada con el embarazo generalmente persiste por mucho tiempo después de que la mujer da a luz y el ejercicio puede ayudar a mejorar la afección. En algunos casos, se puede presentar una hernia umbilical. Si se presenta dolor, puede ser necesario practicar una cirugía.

Posibles complicaciones:

En general, las complicaciones sólo aparecen cuando se presenta una hernia.

Cuándo contactar a un profesional médico:

Llame al médico de inmediato si un niño con diástasis de rectos presenta enrojecimiento o dolor en el abdomen, tiene vómitos persistentes o llora constantemente.
