Spinal pain after cesarean section anesthesia

When we perform a cesarean section, we need to perform surgery, so generally we will be given anesthetics. However, anesthetics are harmful to a certain extent, and we may have some side effects, including spinal pain after anesthesia. This situation should be taken seriously. Many people do not know the cause of this situation. So what is the cause of spinal pain after anesthesia for cesarean section?

Before delivery, the doctor will recommend a delivery method based on the mother's physical condition. If a natural birth is recommended, the mother should not blindly choose a cesarean section, because the impact of anesthesia during a cesarean section is really significant. For mothers who choose cesarean section, if the anesthesiologist uses spinal anesthesia for painless delivery, the spinal cord will inevitably be affected in terms of sequelae.

Although spinal anesthesia for painless delivery is a highly safe and effective analgesic method of anesthesia. At the same time, the mother does not feel any pain during childbirth, but after anesthesia, the pain may not be more comfortable than a normal birth. Especially for spinal anesthesia, the spine will definitely be very painful after anesthesia.

Since cesarean section uses spinal anesthesia, including spinal anesthesia, epidural anesthesia and combined spinal-epidural anesthesia, when the baby is taken out of the uterus and the anesthesia is removed, the mother's waist will still be rigid and protruding like when she was pregnant. In addition, during pregnancy, due to carrying a heavy belly for a long time, the spine will bend significantly, which will cause severe protrusion of the lumbar spine. It’s not a good feeling for mothers to be attacked by both after giving birth!

From the perspective of Western medicine, there is a central nervous system in the spine that manages all the sensory nerves in the body. During caesarean sections, anesthesia is injected into the spine because the spine connects to the brain at the top, the limbs at the bottom, and controls the internal organs in the middle. If the spine is deformed it will affect many physiological functions. It can be seen that the sequelae of spinal anesthesia during caesarean sections have a significant impact!

Low back pain after cesarean section is a typical postpartum disease, also known as postpartum rheumatism. If you do not take good care of yourself during the confinement period, catch a cold from the wind, or eat raw, cold food, it may cause back pain after cesarean section.
