A member asked:

Is it normal to feel stretch and discomfort near c sec incision even after 7 months. how long it takes for internal scarring to settle in body. help..

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not normal: By 7 months, healing is compete. With a cesarean section, though, Some of the sensory nerves can be damaged, and you may have some permanent abnormal sensation, especially below the incision. Pain, though, is not normal, and should be evaluated.
