Post-C-Section Cough Discomfort: Adhesions and Relief


Question
I have been coughing quite a bit lately due to an sickness, and am having discomfort where my surgery site from my csection I had my with my second son, 9-12-2007. It's not really pain, it feels more like pressure when I cough. Is this normal?

Answer
Yes, it sounds normal. Some women develop adhesions, or tissue that connects the scar to underlying tissue, and most likely, this is the source of your discomfort when coughing. Scar tissue is very strong and you do not need to worry about injury or strain to the incision site.
