Is this scar normal after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

Today while taking a bath, I felt a bit of pain near the C-section incision. I touched it with my hand, and found that about one centimeter above the horizontal incision, there were worm-like lines inside. Vertically, there were many small lines, and pressing lightly would cause pain.

Doctor's answer:

I think what you touched might be adhesion between the wound and the peritoneum during the healing process after a cesarean section, which constitutes the symptoms you mentioned. The vertical hard strips should also be formed during the contraction of the wound. It could be that the wound hasn't fully healed yet, or there is some adhesion in the healed wound, causing pain when pressed, but neither of these is a problem. For severe cesarean section patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and treat it according to the doctor's advice. Avoid blindly relying on advertising drugs for treatment to prevent the condition from worsening.
