- Abstract
Cesarean section (CS) is the most common surgery in women of reproductive age group. We report three cases of cesarean section scar defect who presented to us with severe dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and postmenstrual bleeding. Diagnosis was made at transvaginalsonography (TVS). Laparotomy and repair of this defect resulted in relief of symptoms. Scar defect is a rare late complication of cesarean section leading to menstrual irregularity. Transvaginalsonography helps in detection and also defines the thickness and length of defect. Conservative surgical correction of the defect followed by menstrual suppression helps in relief of symptoms and can be considered as the first line in management.
