Summary
This study looks at whether the mobility of a cesarean scar is related to the severity of menstrual pain in women who have had a C-section. Researchers will measure scar mobility, pain levels, and pressure sensitivity in 34 women aged 20–35 with regular cycles and period pain. The goal is to see if less mobile scars are tied to more intense menstrual pain, which could guide future assessments and treatments.
