Patient's question:
It is said that giving birth is the most painful level of pain for women. I would like to ask how many levels of pain are classified according to standards, and what standards are used for this classification?Doctor's answer:
In medicine, pain is generally divided into 12 levels by doctors. Level 1 pain is the mildest, roughly equivalent to being bitten by a mosquito. Level 6 is already very painful, such as being hit with a stick and bruised, or suffering a broken bone from a fall. The pain experienced by a mother during childbirth is level 12, and from this, you can imagine how intensely painful childbirth can be. Specific pain levels still depend on individual physical conditions and the way pain is perceived.
