cesarean Scar Opened After 20 Years!!!
Posted: 12-13-07 12:26pm

Hello,

My mother is a fairly healthy woman, even exercises. She had three cesarean births over 20 years ago. Now out of no where her cesarean scar is opening. She has a 1/2 hole in her.

I was just wondering if anyone has heard of any situation similar to this and might know some possible causes. I was thinking maybe she over exerted herself during working out, but she hasn't been working out for the past couple of months because of school. We are 99.99% Sure she didn't physically tear the scar open by over exerting herself.

I was just wondering even anyone had any Ideas, Even the doctor was stumped. Now she is going to a specialist but he can't get her in until Jan 2nd. So she has to walk around with a bandage on.

Well if anyone can help, Thank you

Is this possible? Doesn't the skin fuse together/new skin form?

I don't know what's causing it but it's possible, because its happening. She is going to a surgen on Jan 2nd and apparently they are going to put her back together. They are going to also look inside her before she gets fixed up to make sure there is nothing causing it. They have already done an ultra sound and found nothing unusual.

I was just wondering if anyone knew something that could cause this to happen. Like maybe an infection, or cancer? Like something that would basically attack scar tissue? I have no idea. Waiting until the second is way to long for me, but they say this doctor is the best.

Thanks for your time
