Failing to look after a caesarean scar properly brings a series of unwelcome consequences. Adhesions, a feeling of pulling, discomfort, a stooped posture, loss of elasticity, layers of tissue knitting together beneath the scar. In the years after the operation, secondary back pain can appear, or what women describe as “being pulled forwards”, along with pain during intercourse, opening the bowels, physical exercise, or even changing position.
