Can severe postpartum headaches be relieved?

Patient's question:

Severe headache after cesarean section, lying down can relieve it, but it hurts when sitting down. What's going on?

Doctor's answer:

The severe headache after a cesarean section that you described generally requires checking blood pressure several times to determine if it's normal. Based on your description, it is recommended that you consult with a neurology specialist for an in-person examination, have your blood pressure checked, identify the specific cause of the headache, and then address it accordingly. When patients face the dangers of a cesarean section, we should actively implement thorough examinations and treatments, avoiding hesitation to seek medical attention. If the condition persists without improvement after a cesarean section, it is essential to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
