Patient's question:
I need a cesarean section because the position of my fetus is not good. It is said that the needle for anesthesia during a cesarean section is very large. How big is the spinal needle for anesthesia during a cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
The anesthesia needle used for cesarean section is similar in size to the needle of a 20-milliliter syringe. For six hours after anesthesia, it is recommended to lie flat without a pillow. Fasting and avoiding fluids are necessary until gastrointestinal peristalsis fully recovers. If your condition permits, it is advisable to get out of bed and move around as early as possible. This helps in the complete recovery of intestinal peristalsis, facilitates early bowel movements, and prevents the recurrence of intestinal adhesions.Faced with the effects of cesarean section, we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If the condition does not improve with prolonged treatment, it is important to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
