Patient's question:
Hello expert, could you help me explain what exactly and are? Is it the same as natural childbirth?Doctor's answer:
??The painless delivery we usually refer to is actually called labor analgesia in medicine. It is a method to reduce or even eliminate the pain during childbirth. There are two methods: one is pharmacological, which involves using anesthetics or analgesics to achieve the analgesic effect. This is what we now call painless delivery. The other method is non-pharmacological, which involves prenatal training, guidance on breathing during uterine contractions, and other techniques to alleviate labor pain. During delivery, massaging the painful areas or using methods such as traditional Chinese acupuncture can also relieve the pain to varying degrees. This also falls under non-pharmacological labor analgesia.
