The level of pain in the testicles and the pain of childbirth

Although every woman is afraid of pain, the pain of childbirth is something that every woman must experience. Most women only know that childbirth is painful, but they don't know how much the pain of childbirth is. So what level is the pain of childbirth equivalent to? Let the editor explain to you below.

What levels of pain does childbirth equate to?

The closer it gets to delivery, the more afraid most expectant mothers become of the pain of natural childbirth. Even if their own conditions are acceptable, they will still have certain concerns. After all, delivery is known to be the most painful, and with so many experienced people saying so, worry is inevitable. But how painful is childbirth for pregnant women? Let's popularize it for everyone today!

First of all, let's understand how pain levels are classified in medicine. There are 10 levels of pain. If we use numbers to express it, it can be divided into 10 levels. 0 means no pain, 1 to 3 means mild pain, 4 to 6 means mild to moderate pain, and above 7 means severe pain.

Generally speaking, the pain caused by mosquito bites or vein irritation can be identified as level 2~3. If it is skin laser cutting, the pain is about level 4~6. If it stimulates the trigeminal nerve or traumatic fracture, it is above level 7. If the pain is above level 4 to 6, daily activities will be affected. If it reaches level 7 or above, appropriate drugs will be needed to relieve it.

So what level of pain can be identified during childbirth? And how does it feel?

Doctors have pointed out that in fact, the maximum pain during childbirth for pregnant women can reach level 9, which is the highest level of pain, but there is no need to be too idle, because the pain is a gradual process, rather than reaching an unacceptable level of level 9 all at once. And during the delivery process, if the pain is more obvious, the body will automatically secrete some analgesic ingredients, which can help pregnant mothers relieve pain. In addition, the pain experience varies depending on the stage of delivery. Generally, pregnant women will feel lower abdominal pain in the early stages of delivery. Some pregnant women will also have back pain, and they may feel that their waist is about to break. The pain at this time can reach level 4 to 6.

Until the middle and late stages of labor, the head tilt begins to decrease, and the pain location will begin to migrate, and expectant mothers will feel that the abdominal pain is relieved. However, the fetal head position will cause irritation to the perineum and pelvic bones. This kind of irritation is like a needle or a knife, and sometimes it will also cause irritation to the anus, so some expectant mothers may have a more obvious urge to defecate.

Why does childbirth have to be painful for pregnant women?

In fact, the pain is mainly caused by uterine contraction. At this time, the cervix will gradually open and the fetus will gradually descend, but all of these require the effect of uterine contraction. In other words, every uterine contraction is the driving force for the babies to leave the uterus, and uterine contractions can also cause pain to pregnant mothers. Fortunately, uterine contractions do not continue all the time. They will give pregnant women a phased buffer, which can make the entire delivery process go more smoothly.

Is it more painful when a boy's testicles break than when a pregnant woman gives birth?

There are rumors on the Internet that the normal pain limit for the human body is 45dol, the pain during childbirth can reach 57del, which is equivalent to breaking 20 ribs, and the pain of being kicked in the testicles can reach up to 9000dol, which is equivalent to giving birth to 160 children or breaking 3200 ribs. Of course, it's a rumor. According to the medical community, not only have these two types of pain not reached such an "inhuman" level, but even the "dol" concept is a very short-lived concept that has not been widely recognized by the academic community.

Medically speaking, "testicular pain" is not the same as labor pain. The former is internal organ pain. In other words, when the testicles are hit, it is not the testicles themselves that hurt, but your internal organs. In addition, the testicles themselves are connected to the gastric nerves and the vomiting center, so when the testicles hurt, it will not only spread to the entire abdomen, but also cause nausea, vomiting, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and sweating.

So does that mean that the pain during childbirth is less severe? Not really. The contraction of the uterus activates sensory nerve effectors, which can feel as bad as testicular pain. Moreover, the pain during childbirth is continuous, lasting from thirty minutes to several hours. If you have testicular pain at this point, you will probably lose miserably.

But, in the final analysis, which of the two kinds of pain is stronger? All we can say is: draw. After all, the judgment of pain depends largely on subjective experience. For people with strong pain tolerance, it is not impossible to develop "steel balls"; for people with weak pain tolerance, perhaps just a toe hitting the threshold can make them fall to the ground and cry.

But one thing is clear, that is, the pain of childbirth creates life, while the pain of egg breaking may result in the inability to create life in a lifetime.
