Abdominal diastasis is a pathology that affects approximately 30% of women following a pregnancy. To accommodate the fetus, the muscles separate and then take their place again, but sometimes this does not happen, leaving space between the abdominal muscles. This pathology, if not treated, often leads to serious, even disabling, consequences. Experts in the sector, patients and politicians gathered in the Zuccari room of the Senate to analyze the current situation of treatments in the various Italian regions and propose suitable solutions for a path that leads to standardizing treatments and updating the LEAs, essential levels of national assistance.
“I have taken the issue of abdominal diastasis to heart” commented Senator Riccardo Silvestroni, “I am convinced that the issue can be addressed in parliament, opening a working table that leads to a discussion with the Ministry of Health for the update of the LEAs”. “We assist over 35,000 patients”, declared Elena Albanese, president of Diastasi Donna, the patient association that promoted the event, “I am convinced that the problem of abdominal diastasis is often an impediment to the choice of conception, especially in cases more pregnancies. Women who face this dilemma have the right to receive the right treatment from the State. By not giving clear answers, it creates discomfort for women, with a very important social and economic impact.”
