What level of pain is equivalent to a caesarean section

Many women will choose cesarean section when they are about to give birth. Cesarean section also has many advantages. Women who choose cesarean section will not experience the pain of natural childbirth, but the pain brought to women after cesarean section will be very great. Some women cannot bear the pain of cesarean section wound. So what level of pain is cesarean section equivalent to?

What is the level of pain during caesarean section?

If cesarean sections are really classified into levels, it should be around level two. Cesarean sections are more painful than normal childbirth, but everyone feels the pain differently. Some people don't think it hurts that much. This requires the patient's personal experience, so there is no specific definition.

Doctors say that in recent years, the proportion of mothers choosing cesarean sections has been increasing. However, the editor once again reminds mothers that unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best not to use cesarean sections, because this method has great harm to the baby and the pregnant woman herself.

About two to three weeks after the surgical incision has formed, the scar will begin to proliferate. At this time, the area will become red, purple, hardened, and protrude from the skin surface. When the wound turns dark brown, the scar will become painful and itchy. New mothers should keep the scar clean and hygienic, wipe off sweat in time, do not scratch it with your hands, rub the scar with clothes or wash it with water to relieve itching, so as not to aggravate local irritation, promote inflammatory reaction of connective tissue, and cause further itching.

How painful is the second caesarean section?

If the first cesarean section was a transverse incision, the second one will generally be performed on the original incision, and no new incision will be made on the abdomen. Generally speaking, there will be more or less adhesions after abdominal surgery, and a second surgery will be difficult, but it will not be very painful, and anesthesia can still play a big role. Cesarean section also uses epidural anesthesia, so pregnant women will not feel any more pain than the pain of uterine contractions. In fact, there is no pain during the cesarean section operation. If you feel a lot of pain after the operation, you can use a pain pump, which can effectively relieve the pain. In fact, it is not as uncomfortable as you imagine, so pregnant mothers can rest assured. However, pregnant mothers should still be reminded that during the second operation, they should consider whether they have developed some "antibodies" to anesthetics, and pay special attention to their body sensations. If they feel something is wrong, they must inform their anesthesiologist, who will further increase the dosage and conduct tests based on their condition.
