Stomach bulge when leaning back

2023-04-23 16:24:06
I had a c section 4 months ago. I noticed that my stomach (abs) bulges like a cone when I am leaning back. Is this something serious or normal? Which doctor do I have to connect with? Is this diastasis recti or hernia?

You need to be examined. It could be either of the two or just the abdominal laxity post caesarean
