How many fingers does the normal rectus abdominis muscle have?

After giving birth, if the body has not recovered to normal levels, the pregnant woman's body may be in an uncomfortable state. If the abdominal muscles are not repaired, you may suffer from back pain, but many pregnant women do not know how much abdominal muscles are normal. Today we will look at how much abdominal muscles are normal after giving birth.

How many abdominal muscles are normal after giving birth?

It is normal if the abdominal muscles are within one finger after giving birth. If they are beyond one finger, it is considered to be rectus abdominis separation, which is the condition that occurs in Beibaigou, Fohe. This situation can cause back pain in pregnant women. Therefore, if the abdominal muscles have not recovered after giving birth, pregnant women can obviously feel their back pain and feel very uncomfortable.

Rectus abdominis separation is caused by poor fitness exercises during pregnancy. If the abdominal muscles are no thicker than three fingers, you can exercise under the guidance of a doctor. However, if the abdominal muscles exceed three fingers, surgery is required, so exercise after giving birth is also very important. Pregnant women can find a professional teacher who can guide them in postpartum exercise to recover after childbirth. After all, surgery is no joke.

The abdominal muscles after giving birth are generally separated due to lack of exercise. Pregnant women can use a belly band appropriately after giving birth, increase protein, and do push-ups appropriately. Pregnant women should also know that if the rectus abdominis is separated by more than three fingers, it is considered a serious case of rectus abdominis separation. If no surgery is performed, it may cause hernia.

When should rectus abdominis separation be treated?

If rectus abdominis separation is detected after giving birth, it is not enough to simply do abdominal muscle rehabilitation exercises, but also a pelvic examination should be performed. If the pelvic repair muscle tone is weak and pelvic organ prolapse exists, if you blindly carry out abdominal strength strengthening and treatment at this time, the pelvic fatigue will offset and respond to the abdominal pressure, and the pelvic organ prolapse and weak pelvic repair capacity will become more serious.

Therefore, we must first carry out pelvic function repair, communicate with doctors, and then carry out abdominal muscle rehabilitation and targeted training.
