What is cesarean scar syndrome?

This is a complication in women who have previously delivered via cesarean section and develops scarring of the uterus. It may result in abnormal vaginal bleeding, pain and infertility.

  • History of previous Cesarean section

  • Bleeding in between menstrual cycles / periods or after menopause

  • Periods last more than 8 days

  • Abnormal period length or flow

Questions your doctor may ask to check for cesarean scar syndrome

Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose cesarean scar syndrome

  • Have you ever had a Cesarean delivery?

  • Have you had vaginal bleeding, brown or pink colored vaginal discharge outside of your periods? Or, after the menopause?

  • Does your menstruation last more than 8 days?
