Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. A divarication is a widened seperation between the two rectus abdominus muscles. It is not considered a true hernia and there are rerely any complications associated with it. The only concern patients have with a divarication is that it can be quite unsightly. It just has cosmetic appeal. Surgical removal is most practiced treatment method.

But, I warn you against self diagnosis. Consult a physician and tell your doubt. He shall suggest further treatment procedure. Till then do not worry and enjoy your life.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
