What Causes Pain In The Lower Abdomen Around A C-section Scar?
Yesterday evening I started having bad pains in my lower abdomen, like close to where I had a c-section. I thought maybe it was gas actually but it hasn t let up any since. I ve been doing a heating pad to ease it some but it still bad and it s been over 24 hours. It s like 3-4 inches below my belly button center to left is the worst but also all over that area. I m worried it may be serious

Hi,
As a first line of management, you can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, you can go for an ultrasound scan to look for any possible intra-abdominal cause.
Hope I have answered your query.
