Hi, I have provided some attachments. Please review them.

I am 48 years old, there is no bulge, this report is a MRI, I do not have the full report available, all that concerns me at moment is the laxity that I have uploaded the statements about. I would like to know if the mild laxity could possibly be corrected with exercise ? The rest of the report notes nothing else except for these 2 statements mild laxity of the anterior lower abdominal wall without definite fascial defect identified to suggest hernia, the other statement is mild laxity of the intra abdominal wall without definite fascial defect identified to suggest hernia. There is no hernia identified.

Surely, yes.

Hello,

Mild laxity can 100 percent be corrected with proper exercises if done under the guidance of a physiotherapist or a certified trainer; have proper diet and lifestyle.

There is surely no hernia as per the MRI report. Hence, go for purposeful exercises and your laxity will be reversed well.
