Can skin sensitivity occur after having a c-section?

Answer by  wendyj (359)

Having sensitive skin is a common side effect of having a c-section. The nerves are severed when the surgeon makes the incision. Give it time and it will likely improve as the nerves heal.

When you have a c-section, some of the nerves on your skin's surface are cut, so its not unusual for the area to feel strange.

It is very common to develop a sensitivity around your incesion after a c-section birth. With time the sensitivity will disperse. Try soaking in warm baths and placing lotion on the area to help desensitize the area. However, do not do this within six weeks of your c-section as you risk infection.

Yes! it is there only for six to eight months that to only around your stitches ,not any other part of your body. It does not happen in all the ladies. You need not worry if you get it as it lasts for a short time.
