Adhesions post c-section/indent in scar

[Lauren8642]

Hi this is going to be a bit TMI… I had a c-section 3 years ago in April everything went smoothly with the surgery and with the recovery although ever since I had my c-section I’ve had painful sex it seems to just be getting worse is positions we could do I can’t do now because it’s so painful. (The pain is kind of in my stomach, not in the vagina/opening) I plucked up the currage to go to the doctors about this is July 2023 also went to the doctors about my irregular periods( don’t know if this is linked) got referred to gynaecologists had that appointment in November 2023 but didn’t go well so now back on the wait list. When the doctor was doing an internal examination on her notes she’s put left adnexal bulk (the gynaecologist didn’t look at this further, he didn’t do a internal examination) I have had an ultrasound and that’s clear.
And I’ve been looking at my scar more and noticing this indent let’s say on my scar I’ve been reading up and heard this can be adhesions that can cause painful sex etc.
I’ll post a picture below best I could get.
Has anyone had similar with there scar and the painful sex?

Yes . I have adhesions from a hysterectomy scar which is in a similar place . Still feel it many years later . I said so once to a nurse who told me that it is a very common thing for c sections too and is not acknowledged enough. Unless it is extremely painful and surgery is contemplated not a lot you can do . And there is no guarantee that the surgery won't also leave adhesions . They are basically keloid scars that remain. Sorry to hear this.
