A member asked:
C-section scar, pain, complications 3 years after surgery, currently pregnant. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pregnancy/surgery: During pregnancy it is best to avoid surgery unless there is an emergency situation. With your old c-section scar, you might benefit from a scar revision. Okay to ask your OB doc about this upcoming delivery. If you have another c-section, your OB might release the old scar, and/or revise it at the time of delivery. Good luck.
