What are the effects of cesarean section scar enlargement

Scarring at the site of a woman’s C-section wound is usually aesthetic and often associated with localized discomfort. Scarring in women with C-section wounds is usually caused by an overgrowth of localized fibrous connective tissue. As the tissue continues to grow, the scar will gradually become more prominent. If left untreated, the scar often grows in size. The surface of the scar is smooth and shiny and often has dilated blood vessels on it. The proliferating scar tissue seriously affects the aesthetics of the patient’s wound area and should be treated early and effectively. When the scar tissue proliferates, many patients will often feel obvious pain, itching or burning sensation in the local area.
