There was an investigation which showed the incidence of DRA in a urogynecological patient and described DRA has a relationship with pelvic floor dysfunction. Based on a previous research, it was noted that UI, POP and fecal incontinence occurs more often in women who have DRA than in women without DRA. As is known to all that DRA is not a primary cause of trouble or pain, but it may contribute to the development of lumbar pain or pelvic floor dysfunction. There is contradictory evidence about the association of the diastasis recti abdominis and pelvic floor dysfunction. The causes of diastasis recti abdominis is unclear, but a general belief of not only diastasis recti abdominis but pelvic floor dysfunction could lead to weak connective tissue. The main risk factors for diastasis of rectus abdominis are obesity, multiparity, fetal macrosomia, flaccid abdominal muscles and multiple pregnancies. As we know, the risk factors for POP and UI are involved in parity, advancing age, and obesity.
Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) mainly includes pelvic organ prolapse (POP), urinary incontinence (UI), and sexual dysfunction.

Some investigations showed DRA leads to a series of complications, including abnormal condition, lumbopelvic pain and external defects which result in lower body satisfaction. Due to the variety of hormone changes during pregnancy, the abdominal muscles stretch affect by relaxin, progesterone and estrogen. DRA is common in pregnancy and postpartum women.
Numerous studies have described the prevalence of DRA was between 27 and 100% in the middle and late of pregnancy respectively, 30–68% in the postpartum period.
