Is Caesarean Section Painful?

Caesarean section is a method of assisted delivery. There are voluntary caesarean sections and some are forced to have caesarean sections due to special circumstances. Unlike conventional delivery methods, since surgery has to be performed on the belly, many pregnant women are definitely worried about the intense pain, coupled with the tension before delivery. So, is cesarean section painful? Let’s take a closer look at it.

With the improvement of modern anesthesia technology, the anesthesia effect during caesarean section is generally very good, and most women do not feel anything during the operation. After surgery, analgesia can continue if conditions permit. However, even so, the pain from the incision usually lasts for several days after surgery.

Many women are too uncomfortable to get up even within 24 hours after giving birth due to the pain. Since the intestinal function is suppressed after surgery, the mother can hardly eat within 24 hours after the operation, so it is impossible to have enough milk secretion. Therefore, after a caesarean section, the mother's lactation will be 1-2 days later than that of a normal birth.

Safety reminder: Since cesarean section is an operation, mothers should have a correct understanding of it. When choosing a hospital, they must choose a more professional and formal obstetric hospital to give birth. Proper and reasonable surgical operation is beneficial to the health of both the mother and the fetus.

The above is an introduction to whether cesarean section is painful or not. I hope it will be helpful for pregnant women. With the continuous advancement of medical technology, the technology of caesarean section is becoming more and more advanced. The pain during the delivery process will be greatly reduced. The prerequisite is that you must go to a regular gynecological hospital for surgery. Do not allow adverse consequences to occur in this regard due to cost issues.
