The sequelae of cesarean section anesthesia are extremely harmful

In order to reduce the pain of childbirth, many pregnant mothers choose to have a cesarean section. Everyone knows that a cesarean section requires anesthesia, so it will cause some harm to the female body to a greater or lesser extent. Although cesarean section can reduce the pain of women during childbirth, the subsequent sequelae are quite scary. The following will introduce you to the sequelae of cesarean section anesthesia.

1. Physical discomfort caused by sequelae of cesarean section anesthesia

Many women feel that they have sequelae of anesthesia for cesarean section, such as soreness or tingling where the anesthetic was injected, and lack of strength in the whole body. In fact, experts say that most women feel that they have sequelae of anesthesia for cesarean section, but these are actually psychological effects. Only a small number of people actually have sequelae of anesthesia for cesarean section. The above situation may be temporary nerve damage, which may be caused by direct mechanical stimulation or neurotoxicity of local anesthetics. The symptoms are generally mild and can disappear within 3-6 months even without any medication.

2. Memory impairment after cesarean section anesthesia

Many people mistakenly believe that memory loss is a sequelae of anesthesia for cesarean section. In fact, memory loss is not one of the complications of anesthesia. Generally, there will be a short period of memory loss and unconsciousness after anesthesia, which will recover soon after waking up from anesthesia. The drug components retained in the body will also be decomposed and excreted within a certain period of time. The feeling of memory loss is mostly due to psychological factors, not the sequelae of cesarean section anesthesia.

3. General anesthesia for sequelae of cesarean section anesthesia

in the country, most people choose partial anesthesia for caesarean section, and fewer people choose general anesthesia. Intrathecal anesthesia is a good anesthesia method with minimal impact on the mother and fetus. However, in some special cases, general anesthesia may be more appropriate. During pregnancy, pregnant women are more likely to have difficulty intubating than other people due to obesity and edema of the respiratory mucosa. Foreign studies have confirmed that pregnant women are more likely to suffer from aspiration during general anesthesia, which affects their ventilation function. But this does not fall into the category of sequelae of cesarean section anesthesia.
