Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 28 years old. The day of delivery is approaching, and she is very nervous. She asks if the pain relief electrode patch is effective for a vaginal birth.Doctor's answer:
It should be possible to use pain relief electrodes during a normal delivery. The principle of physical pain relief is to apply a disposable patch to acupoints and then pass an electric current to stimulate the acupoints, thereby reducing pain. It can significantly reduce pain during uterine contractions, but it should not go beyond completely painless. It has no side effects on the fetus or the pregnant woman and can also accelerate labor progress. It is recommended that pregnant women maintain a healthy lifestyle, which helps the body reach its best condition. Wishing you good health and a happy life.
