A member asked:

My incision has closed and overall i feel fine no pain etc, 1 weeks post csection was wondering are there any ab excersises safe to do now ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Would wait : Usually after any incision from surgery to abdominal wall and muscles one should wait at least 8-10 wks before really straining the abd wall muscles to avoid tearing and surgical hernias from occuring. Always follow up and check with your doctor before doing so however.
