I experienced this for a short time after my vbac but not after my c-section. Work your pelvic floor muscles- squats should help. Pregnancy can stress the pelvic floor, even without a vaginal birth.
Personally, I didn't have that problem. I know that's not really all that helpful. Maybe ask your doc. I would call them anonymously if you're too embarrassed to ask in person. If they try that "we cant give out personal info" thing, then just ask in a general sense. "Is this a normal side effect of having a CS?"
I would definitely talk to your doctor, and try to get a recommendation for a physical therapist - there some who work specifically with postpartum women and plevic floor issues. I would think it's more a pregnancy thing rather than a c/s thing.
Me too but I think it is more pregnancy related than c/s related, like the PP said. I don't know if there is a similar exercise to Kegels that will help this but I'd like to know b/c it can be embarassing if I'm out!

Re: 11mo post cs question...
Did you have any complications with your surgery? Unless you had a complication, I would assume it is related to pregnancy in general, not the c/s.
