Question 1

What is the best treatment for rectus diastasis in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Treatment depends on severity and symptoms. Mild cases may improve with physiotherapy and core strengthening. When the separation is significant or causes symptoms, surgical repair may be recommended. Dr. Sharad Sharma offers evaluation and repair at Hernia Surgery Clinic in Bandra and Vashi.

Question 2

How much does rectus diastasis surgery cost in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Rectus diastasis surgery cost in Mumbai depends on the technique (open vs laparoscopic), extent of repair, and whether combined with hernia repair or abdominoplasty. We provide clear estimates at consultation. Contact our clinic for pricing.

Question 3

How long is recovery after rectus diastasis repair?

Accepted Answer

Recovery varies; many patients need several weeks before returning to normal activities and heavy lifting. Your surgeon will give you a personalised timeline and guidance on core exercises. We support you through follow-up care.

Question 4

Can rectus diastasis be fixed without surgery in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Mild rectus diastasis may improve with physiotherapy and core strengthening. When the gap is wide or causes back pain, bulge, or functional problems, surgery may be recommended. We assess each patient and recommend the best approach.

Question 5

What causes rectus diastasis in women?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy is a common cause because the growing uterus stretches the abdominal muscles. Multiple pregnancies, large babies, or weak core muscles can increase the risk. It can also occur in men and women due to obesity or heavy lifting.

Question 6

Where can I get rectus diastasis treatment in Navi Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Hernia Surgery Clinic has a centre in Vashi, Navi Mumbai, where Dr. Sharad Sharma consults for rectus diastasis. We also have a clinic in Bandra, Mumbai. Book a consultation at either location.

Question 7

Is rectus diastasis the same as a hernia?

Accepted Answer

No. Rectus diastasis is separation of the two rectus muscles; it is not a hernia (no hole with protruding contents). However, the weakened wall can increase the risk of developing a hernia. Both can be addressed during surgery when needed.

Question 8

Which doctor is best for rectus diastasis in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Sharad Sharma is a leading hernia and abdominal wall surgeon in Mumbai with experience in rectus diastasis repair. He can advise on physiotherapy vs surgery and perform repair when indicated. Consult at our Bandra or Vashi clinic.

Question 9

What are the signs that I need rectus diastasis surgery?

Accepted Answer

A persistent bulge in the midline, back pain, or core weakness that does not improve with physiotherapy may indicate a need for surgical evaluation. We assess the width of the separation and your symptoms to recommend the best option.

Question 10

Can rectus diastasis repair be done laparoscopically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Laparoscopic and robotic techniques can be used to repair rectus diastasis in selected cases, often with minimal scarring. Open repair may be preferred when combined with hernia repair or abdominoplasty. We discuss all options at consultation.
