After undergoing a cesarean section, many women have reported a small “flap” or fold in the lower abdomen, just above the scar.
Although it is a very common occurrence, it often causes considerable discomfort for women, leading them to seek various options to reduce it. This is why it is extremely important to understand the causes of its appearance in order to make informed decisions to eliminate it.
