Question 1

vertical scar line on belly after emergency csection. why did they do that?

Accepted Answer

Keloid?: Everyone gets scars after surgery but some more than others. A keloid is a condition where thick red scars form. Injection with triamcinolone is effective. Laser treatments are also effective.

Question 2

i have been to my gynecologist but he couldn't diagnose me.  after my emergency c section i've had pains on my cut everytime on my period and it only gets worse. can it be scar endometriosis and how is it treated?

Accepted Answer

C/S scar pain ?: Scars from a C/S can lead to adhesions which could cause pain with uterine contractions occurring with menstruation.  It would be unusual for sudden endometriosis to occur from the C/S, but if endometriosis were present prior to the C/S , the process could explain the abdominal pain which may seem as if it originates at the scar site.

Question 3

why is my stomach still hard and round after 6 months of and emergency c-section i look pregnant still bc i'm so little it's no flab or extra skin?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy test?: It's unusual to have large belly after six months of C-section unless you are pregnant again. Get tested for pregnancy.

Question 4

i had a vertical emergency c-section just about 9 years ago with other abdominal surgeries at other times. 
recently i'm having intense tearing pain along the c-section with muscle strain, stretching & sneezes. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

: This could be a ventral or incisional hernia and should be evaluated by a general surgeon

Question 5

does an emergency c section weaken the cervix?

Accepted Answer

No: No it won't unless a classical C/S was done and extended into the cervix or a transverse C/S also had a improperly repaired cervical tear.

Question 6

iv had 2 kids and am 33 weeks first one was emergency c-section and second was reg c-section what's the chance of goin into labor for number 3?

Accepted Answer

You'll definitely...: ...Go into labor at some point if no c/s is done first; but vbac (vaginal birth after caesarean) is less safe than a planned c/s so that's what will be offered.

Question 7

i took a home test on 12-10-13.i had a emergency c-section 8 months ago, i haven't had a normal cycle since.my last cycle was11-25-13.am i prengnant?

Accepted Answer

Breastfeeding: You had a baby 8 months ago, are you still breastfeeding? This will definitely throw off your menstrual cycle. If not breastfeeding, then there could be other reasons for lack of period. Did you have massive blood loss at cesarean? This can lead to problems with pituitary. Sounds like if you're not breastfeeding, you should get checked by doctor to rule out anything serious.

Question 8

i had my baby at 23 weeks via emergency c-section. it was either that or pos bleed death (had near abruption) family upset; we are christian and they state i should of tried to keep baby in longer :(?

Accepted Answer

See below:: You may have bled to death and the baby would have likely died from the abruption anyway. You made an appropriate decision.

Question 9

how risky is an emergency c-section?

Accepted Answer

Relatively safe: Like any other emergent surgery, a C-section carries a risk. However this is a very safe surgery and there are very few complications.

Question 10

pain on left side above waist area since having emergency c section just over  8 weeks ago also still bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Contact your OB MD: At 8 weeks post C/section recurring pain is not usually the case. Contact your treating OB MD for an evaluation.
