Will Surgery Marks Have Any Effect On Pregnancy?
Hello Doctor! This is for my wife. She is 25 years old. She has got a surgery mark in her stomach on right side of her navel as line of 3 inches aproximately. Is there any discomfort will happen if she gets pregnant. This is the mark for the surgery when her age was only 3 months. Please advise

Hello,
In my opinion, the surgery mark is not going to affect her pregnancy in any way. The tissues, muscles get healed within three to five months after surgery and gain normal vigor. So it does not affect or cause any discomfort during the pregnancy. So you can comfortably plan your pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
