Abdominal Adhesions

How to Avoid Adhesions After C-Section

Abdominal adhesions occur in 93% of all abdominal surgery. They create strands of scar tissue inside the body that can affect your recovery, pain levels, organ function and sex life for years to come.

When our tissue isn't supported after surgery and bleeding has occurred internally, it doesn't heal as well. Scar tissue occurs inbetween organs, and tissue through the fascial system.

These internal adhesions can have a tensile strength of 6000# per square inch. That is some serious pulling power between one part of your body and another! The 'pulling' effect of these scar tissue adhesions can cause lower back and pelvic problams and pain.

Reduce the Chances of Adhesions

Another health impact that has been experienced by cesarean moms is issues with their digestion like irritable bowel syndrome or difficulties with elimination . Also, the tightening caused by the scar tissue pulls within the abdominal cavity affecting the organs. Painful sex after c-section is another complication that can be caused by adhesions.

Compression from binding brings the bodily fibers back together at the incision. It helps reduce swelling and prevent the incision tearing. At the same time c-section belly bands offer some protection for the incision giving you greater confidence holding your baby and moving around.

Massage can help organize tissue and scatter stagnant blood while at the same time encouraging fresh blood flow into the scar. The scar you see on your skin surface is not what is happening inside your body, so massage will also help reduce the chances of internal adhesions.
