Patient's question:
Now I am almost eight months pregnant. Because my body is relatively weak, I have to have a cesarean section. I have already given birth to a child before, and it was also a cesarean section. Now I am said to be more painful than the first time. I want to ask for help: why is it more painful to have a second cesarean section than the first?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to clarify your questions. Regardless of whether it's the first, second, or subsequent birth, if you decide on a cesarean section, the surgery will be performed under anesthesia. Therefore, there is no situation where the second birth is more painful than the first. The level of pain depends on the effectiveness of the anesthesia and the patient's sensitivity to the anesthetic drugs. Typically, the second cesarean section is performed shortly after the first one, resolving the scar from the initial surgery. However, this process is also done under anesthesia, so there's no need to be anxious. Cesarean section patients can understand and follow symptomatic treatment while using home remedies as supplementary therapy. In daily life, a proper diet should be maintained to avoid foods.
