What about breastfeeding and DR?
Do you have in your experience, seen a difference in length to recovery for a DR when the mother is still breasfeeding?
Is the answer to Question 1 False? I understood that dooming was the way people injured them self…
I personally don’t know the impact breastfeeding has on DRA. Yes the answer is false as there is such a fear of doming by some but what’s more important is the soft or hard doming. We want to avoid hard doming where the tissue doesn’t deform but soft doming is ok and not causing any issues.
The major difference with a hernia is the lack of integrity of the tissues. With a DRA the linea might still have the ability to tension it with activation, it may not as well, but a hernia is like a soft spot in a trampoline and there is no ability for the tissues to recoil or tension. Some DRA’s get beyond the ability to recoil and tension too but a hernia is more prominent at the umbilicus and when any activation happens in the abdominal wall, no change is noted under your fingers. There is also a bulge of the small intestines out when there is a hernia. US imagining may be needed to determine for sure.

How do we differentiate between DRA and abdominal wall hernia in the LA?
