The reason for itching on the incision after cesarean section: Generally speaking, itching on the incision after cesarean section is a normal physiological phenomenon, as new blood vessels and nerves need to grow connective tissue. These new blood vessels and nerves are particularly dense and crowded together. The new nerves are easily stimulated, and because the nerves are very sensitive, they will produce an itchy feeling.
