Diastasis Recti and Hernia Pictures

Diastasis recti (also known as abdominal separation) is a condition where the two vertical bands of muscles that run down the middle of the abdomen (the rectus abdominis muscles) become separated. This separation can occur during pregnancy, as a result of rapid weight gain, or due to repetitive straining of the abdominal muscles. While diastasis recti is not a hernia, it can present as a bulge in the middle of the abdomen, similar to a hernia.

Diastasis 和 Hernia 的区别

区分因素:

  • 定义:

  • 腹壁分隔是连接中部左右两侧的腹直肌的异常宽距离。

  • 疝气是一个孔隙穿过薄弱壁的部分组织。

  • 形状:

  • 分割通常是一个膨胀的下中部,可能位于脐上。

  • 疼痛感:可能包括疼痛,尤其是在咳嗽或仰卧起座时。

  • 位置:

  • 腹壁分割发生在所有四个象限中以不同的方式。它可以在前身中部或左腰区域。

  • 疝气通常有更明确的位置。

  • 治疗:

  • 通过手术修复,但根据其严重程度,可以选择不同的外科手术。

  • 腹壁分割通常不需要手术;一些外科医生使用最小侵入性方法,如腹腔镜。

预防措施

  • 怀孕和怀孕后,适当的体育活动可以帮助降低风险。
  • 减重和健康饮食可能有所帮助。

结论

腹壁分割和疝气是两种常见的病状,并且可以引起类似的症状(即腹部凸起)。它们在诊断和治疗上有相似之处,尽管它们的原因和治疗方法不同。对于那些怀疑患有此类病症的人,最好咨询医疗专家以获得准确的诊断和适当的治疗。
