What is a caesarean section?



A caesarean section is a surgical procedure where a baby is born through an incision made in the mother’s abdomen.


What problems can arise from a caesarean?



Caesarean section can cause scarring, pain and weak abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. As a result of the trauma, women have an increased risk in developing pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. Dysfunction of the pelvic floor can have a wide range of symptoms, including urinary or faecal incontinence. In addition, deep stabilising muscles which play a key role in supporting the back can become weakened; resulting in frequent back complaints following caesarean section.
