Suggest Treatment For Muscle Tear Inside The Stomach
I have torn my stomach muscle wall, causing separation and a bubble effect gut protrusion when I do a situp. What do you suggest be done to correct this injury occurrence? I had been lifting boulders off a pickup up truck tailgate an had strenuously exhaled against the stomach wall feeling it tear.

Dear patient
How do you came to diagnosis? Was it self diagnosed or you have consulted specialist? If it was self diagnosed then you should consult surgeon and let them confirm diagnosis. Once it is confirmed management is surgical repair of the tear in your stomach wall or else the size may increase and herniated gut may get obstructed. Avoid weight lifting and wear abdominal belt till consultation is done..
