Brief Answer:
Minor laxity is reversible with proper care and time.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
* The presence of laxity of intra-abdominal wall suggest mild separation of muscle fibers in the midline of anterior lower abdominal wall , which is not sufficient to give way to intra abdominal contents to bulge and give hernia appearance.
* Primary guidelines at present are:
- Control body weight and body mass index (provide me your height and weight for better inputs on this).
- Have to keep blood sugar, cholesterol levels under control.
- Avoid excess weight lifting (if involved).
- Assisted physiotherapy exercises along with deep breathing exercises focusing on the contractions of lower abdominal muscles particularly help great to revert it.
- Avoid over eating and intake of high caloric diet , excess dairy fat , junk foods so you do not get extra fat deposition and more laxity.
Hope this information will help you.
Wish you great health.
