What are the reasons for numbness in both legs after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

27 years old, gave birth via cesarean section on the morning of April 13th. From postpartum to April 16th, I had no sensation in my legs. Is there anything that can be treated? What precautions should be taken?

Doctor's answer:

Could it be symptoms caused by anesthesia? Based on your description, it's still best to tell the doctor about your situation. Generally, anesthesia effects usually wear off gradually after about 6 hours, so you should regain sensation. Alternatively, it might be due to extreme fatigue after waking up, causing a temporary loss of perception. In addition to timely medical treatment, patients who have undergone a cesarean section should pay attention to maintaining deep sleep and drinking plenty of water. Sufficient deep sleep is essential to help you recover as quickly as possible from this condition.
