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.

Bleeding in between menstrual cycles / periods or after menopause

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?
Are your periods abnormal e.g. in duration or amount of bleeding?
Treatment is not always needed. However, in the event that fertility is desired, or bleeding is severe, surgery may be helpful in removing the scar.
