Mine was diagnosed when I was terrified of this huge lump jutting out of my stomach like a deformity, and rushed back to my surgeon, and he felt around on my abdomen. But mine is, uh...special :x
Most minor ones can be checked for on your own - if you google it there are instructions all over the net, and if it isn't too extreme it can be possible to close with special excercises over time.
Minor or severe, you should never do any traditional ab excercises if you have one, because it makes it way, way worse.
