What Causes Recurrent Intense Abdominal Pain Long After A C-section?

hello, my name is Amanda i am 27. about 2years ago i had a c-section. the healing wasn t to bad and i did experience some abdominal pain but after sometime it went away. i still do not have any feeling below my belly button. a bout a week or so i noticed that my abdominal pain (identical to what i experienced after my c-section) is back. its gotten to the point that i cant wear pants/jeans because of this pain. i have gently placed my hand and moved it across my abdomen to see if there were any bumps or lumps( i found nothing) and i noticed that even though i do not have feeling below my belly button and could not even feel my hand on my abdominal, internally i felt this awful burning sensation. is this normal?? what is this pain related to.

Hi Amanda,
Thanks for asking.
This pain you have above belly button, burning in nature could be due to acidity/bloating / indigestion 9 due to over eating or digestive deficiency.
it must have been observed after c.s.- because of emptiness of stomach, empty bowels being filled with more gas ... because of handling of intestines during operation , anesthesia, antibiotics....
- But now it does not seem to be related with c.s( no such problem is possible after 2 years of normal life ).it seems to be lack of proper life style changes( needful calories balanced diet/ exercises for 45 minutes a day, normal motions & digestion/ peaceful sleep for 6-8 hours & positive thinking). consult specific expert advise.
-Avoid over eating or fasting. Avoid spicy or oily food,avoid tea, coffee,alcohol.
- eat small & frequent servings in a day. Can take Ranitidine pill over the counter & Enzyme preparation for relief.
in case there is no change in in symptoms, consult a Gastroenterologist for expert medical advise apart from life style changes. ,
thanks.
