Is Climbing Stairs Advisable After C-section Surgery?
I had c section on 3rd October delivered twins and was fine. On 17th December I did climb and come down nearly 4000 steps from a mountain and had a 12 hour journey on train . There was small opening in my stitches. After a week I m feeling prickly pain in my lower abdomen and it has increased in size as well

Yes stairs can be climbed after caesarian section provided the scar is healed completely and the abdominal muscles which become lax are adequately strengthened. Also, pre pregnancy cardiac and pulmonary as well as hematological status (Hb and other parameters) are also responsible for any aerobic physical activity endurance
