It's terrible not to pay attention to the results of postpartum repair!

It is no secret that He Jie's "triplets" are difficult to recover from postpartum body deformation. It was not until the video was made public that we were surprised to find that He Jie had never had a postpartum repair! Now that the separation of rectus abdominis has reached two fingers, many movements can no longer be done!

At first, she didn't know that she was separated from the rectus abdominis, until the yoga teacher told her that her physical condition could not do yoga at all, and she couldn't do any other movements except lying down, because her rectus abdominis had separated more than two fingers.

He Jie said that when she gave birth to her younger sister, a friend told her to pay attention to the postpartum rectus abdominis examination. She was too nervous to take it seriously, thinking that she could lose weight by exercising. I didn't expect this result. In this regard, she couldn't help feeling: "They didn't lie to me, but my heart was too big."

Some of these women are lightly separated and have not attracted their attention, but if they are separated to the following extent, they can no longer be ignored.

Coincidentally, the separation of rectus abdominis of a foreign mother is exactly the same. Stephanie, a 32-year-old professional long-distance runner, has given birth to two children. She still hasn't stopped her sports career.

Many people think that athletes will not affect their figure after giving birth, or that as long as they keep exercising, keeping their figure will not affect their figure. After watching Stephanie's reality show, everyone should understand that this is not the case.

Many of them were moved by their feelings. After unloading, they hope to keep fit with fitness exercises. But in fact, no matter how hard she tries to keep fit before giving birth, the mother who gave birth to the baby will go through a more painful recovery period than usual. If the method is not suitable, the recovery period may be extended indefinitely.

Why do rectus abdominis separate?

The rectus abdominis is located in the sheath of rectus abdominis on both sides of the midline of the anterior abdominal wall. It is a kind of banded abdominal muscle with wide upper part and narrow lower part. It starts from pubic symphysis and pubic crest, and muscle fibers stop in front of sternal xiphoid process and 5-7 costal cartilage. The whole muscle length is divided into 6- 10 muscle abdomens by 3-4 transverse tendons.

In the third trimester of pregnancy, the enlarged uterus will expand and extend the abdominal wall, and the rectus abdominis on both sides will be separated from the midline of the abdomen, that is, the white line of the abdomen. The abdominal wall will gradually recover, and the rectus abdominis will move closer to the midline again, usually returning to its original position within six months to one year.

It is normal that the distance of rectus abdominis muscle is less than two fingers after delivery, and no adjustment is needed. If the rectus abdominis is separated by more than 2 fingers, it needs to be treated as soon as possible. Remind your precious mothers not to wait to start doing abdominal exercises. If you start abdominal exercises without closing the rectus abdominis space, it will not only have no effect, but also aggravate the separation degree of rectus abdominis and damage the abdominal muscles, which is not worth the candle.

If the abdominal wall itself is weak, or twins, the fetus is too large, amniotic fluid is too much, or multiple births. Six months after delivery, the rectus abdominis still can't return to its original position, which is called postpartum rectus abdominis separation.

Separation of rectus abdominis is harmful.

The separation of rectus abdominis not only makes the figure and abdomen ugly, but also causes back pain and abdominal visceral problems.

▼ lead to abnormal posture

The separation of rectus abdominis will directly change the posture, affect the neutral position of pelvis, and lead to the occurrence of pelvic forward tilt, abdominal protrusion, rib eversion and so on.

▼ cause low back pain

The deeper the rectus abdominis is separated, the weaker the abdominal muscle strength, and the less its support for the back. The reason is that erector spinae is overworked due to his inability to separate rectus abdominis.

This is also the reason why many women are prone to low back pain after childbirth, and there will be symptoms of aggravated low back pain when they walk a long way. More serious patients can't get up smoothly.

▼ Causing visceral displacement

Long-term separation of rectus abdominis can also lead to pelvic and abdominal organ displacement. Patients with rectus abdominis separated from more than three fingers are more likely to have serious problems such as small intestinal hernia.

The human body is full of various balances, and our abdominal and back strength is a kind of balance. Once the white line of the abdomen widens and the rectus abdominis separates, the strength of the abdominal wall will be weakened, and the strength of the back will be relatively strong, further pulling the weakness of the abdomen to both sides, so that the rectus abdominis will be further separated and the defect of the abdomen will be bigger and bigger. Never underestimate the importance of postpartum repair!

What is rectus abdominis separation?

What is rectus abdominis separation? I'll teach you to test yourself!

Lie on your back with your legs bent; Expose the abdomen, lift the upper body, and hold your breath hard in the abdomen; The index finger and middle finger of the right hand extend into the abdomen, and feel that the abdominal muscles on both sides squeeze the fingers to the middle, and measure the distance between the muscles on both sides.

Normal: within 2 fingers (including 2 fingers), need to be improved: more than 3 fingers.

During pregnancy and childbirth, the mother's physical function and body shape have undergone great changes, suffering from unknown pain. Therefore, in order to live a healthy life in the future, mothers should pay attention to postpartum rehabilitation!
