Some women reported that they tried skipping rope after delivery, but the separation of rectus abdominis still did not recover, resulting in urinary leakage. Severe separation of rectus abdominis will not only cause leakage of urine, but also aggravate the pain of lying-in women's back.

Improper exercise may aggravate the separation of rectus abdominis or cause other discomfort to the body.
