A member asked:
Appendicitis after c section, is that possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, possible: Appendicitis could happen any time including during and after pregnancy. The pain associated with a c-section might make it difficult to diagnose appendicitis. If the symptoms suggest the diagnosis an ultrasound or ct scan could provide confirmation.
