good morning doctor. ever since my c-section 4 years I have been suffering from persistent very painful stomache cramps . they are so painful that I cannot sleep and continue for several weeks. I have gone to my gynae doctor and she s done numerous tests on my uterus and ovaries but all is fine. she cannot explain the reason for this pain. I also had ultrasound tests but also everything is fine. What is the cause of my pain and how can I cure it completely?
After any surgery over the abdomen, there is chance of adhesions formation inside. The bowels or fat(Momentum) will get attached to the inner part of the scar inside the abdomen and there will be pain when these structures move or get pulled. If the adhesions are dense, the abdomen will get distended followed by vomiting and constipation. If these are not present, then cramps may be due to mild adhesions. Please take smooth muscle relaxant like Dicyclomine during pain. Nothing to worry. If the symptoms still persist, go for CT scan abdomen. Wish you good healthRegards
