Divarication of the rectus is a condition where the rectus abdominis muscles are no longer located next to each other as they run up and down the abdomen from the breastbone (xyphoid) to the pubic bone (symphysis pubis). The muscles separate from each other and is easiest to see when the patient does sit-ups and notices a linear bulge running up the centre of the abdomen. The most common cause in women is pregnancy. Heavier men can develop this condition in their upper abdomen as well.
