A member asked:
I am experiencing abdominal pain above the belly button three weeks after my c-section on the right hand side. can it be caused by the laparotomy i had last year or is it because of the c-section?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be either: Anytime the abdomen is opened surgically, there is potential for internal organs to "stick together" when the healing process occurs (adhesions). Multiple surgeries are more likely to cause this problem. Have your GYN MD evaluate this issue.
