Could I have injured c-section wound 2.5 yrs later?

[windswept]

Hi Ladies

I've had two c-sections, one in June 2011 and one in July 2013. I never give the wound area a second thought, except to hate my 'overhang!'

But yesterday morning my husband accidentally hurt that area - supposed to be a tickle but felt more like a punch... And since then that area has felt very tender, bruised and uncomfortable - right inside me, not the scar itself.

Can I have 'popped' something so long after? I know that there are layers of stitches required to put you back together after the op, but surely they'd be well healed by now and I've not damaged anything?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Difficult.

I know you can feel pain in your scar for your entire life. I still do after 5 years and it comes and goes. If you are concerned I think I'd contact your OB/GYN just to be safe.

Hope it's nothing!

Seemingly they use 2 ways to stitch up. The old way was 2 layers of stitches. The newer way is 1 layer. Recently they found out that 1 layer causes more complications in the long run as its less solid & cuases issues in following pregnancies. I think you should just check it out if pain continues.
