Has your recovery from c-section surgery been harder than you expected? Are you feeling nagging symptoms, such as incontinence, changes in your digestion, irregular periods or PMS, weakness in your abdominal muscles, or low back or hip pain?
Believe it or not, your c-section scar could be the hidden cause of your lingering symptoms!
Here’s why: we often think of scars as occurring on the surface of the skin, but scar tissue also forms underneath the skin. This can cause a “fascial adhesion” — tiny threads of connective tissue that attach from the surface of the scar onto the body structures below it. When this happens with c-sections scars, it can restrict motion and cause significant issues, including urinary and digestive changes, a weak core, and persistent pain.
