After I lost about 150 lbs,now my abdomen hangs really low and covers my pubic area.During my Periods it hurts a lot in the lower abdomen,It feels like my ovaries are just hanging and someone is putting and hard.It is very painful I can barely walk normal during that time.It also happens after I workout or I am cleaning myself under the flap, that area is very sensitive.I have a LOT of skin hanging beyond my c-section area about 6 Inches below.Could it be due to hanging skin & will Insurace Pay?
