Which is more painful: natural childbirth or cesarean section?

Patient's question:

A woman in her 20s has been feeling very tired for a while. After checking into the hospital, she found out she was sick. She asks: Is a cesarean section more painful than a vaginal delivery?

Doctor's answer:

When a patient is in labor, they may experience strong contractions again. These contractions can cause significant pain to the patient. Most women who give birth naturally will require a cesarean section. The decision to have a cesarean section is usually made when the pain during labor is relatively mild, but after the anesthesia wears off, the pain at the incision site may return again. Do not have any psychological pressure and maintain a cheerful mood. During this period, pay attention to getting plenty of rest, and maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods. This is beneficial for both you and the fetus in your womb.
