This structure is stretched by being subjected to pressure for various reasons and stretches and separates by opening from the middle to both sides. As a result, the muscles relax. Since the structure surrounding the organs and fat layer in the inner abdomen is deformed, these organs form a bulge outward and create a navel image. This situation is called diastasis recti -separation of the <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">rectus abdominis<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">-.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Causes_Diastasis_Recti\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">What Causes Diastasis Recti?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:40,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In general, there is no single cause.

However, with appropriate movements, the progression and worsening of the separation in the vertical muscles on both sides of the body can be prevented.
