It’s scar tissue I had the same thing I have been working with a pelvic floor specialist and you have to massage really

So I had that in the beginning, my Dr prescribed me physiotherapy and the work I have been doing with the physiotherapist has really helped with the pain and healing. Also, she does a little massage and cupping which has really helped remove any tightness in the scar area. Massaging is extremely important to avoid the hardness. Wishing everyone a quick recovery and the best of time with your little ones ❤️
