How to relieve headaches after a cesarean section

Patient's question:

Headache after Cesarean section surgery, for five days now, doesn't hurt when lying flat, but hurts when standing up or sitting down. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Post-caesarean section headache, considered a side effect of anesthesia, requires attention to rest and maintaining a calm mood. After careful observation for a long time, you can take some pain-relieving medication and gradually recover. Follow medical advice and communicate frequently with the attending physician. Patients facing post-caesarean difficulties should actively undergo examinations and treatment without avoiding medical visits. If the post-caesarean condition does not improve with treatment, a new treatment plan should be implemented promptly.
