During childbirth, women can give birth through vaginal delivery or cesarean section. Some women may have to undergo a cesarean section due to reasons such as fetal malposition and oversized fetus. Some women choose to give birth by caesarean section simply because they are afraid of pain. So, is cesarean section painful for twins?
The pain sensation of a cesarean section for twins is not greater than that of a single pregnancy. In fact, the pain caused by cesarean section not only occurs after the anesthesia effect disappears, but also during the postpartum recovery stage. The surgical process of a twin cesarean section is no different from that of a singleton. During the surgery, there are steps such as anesthesia, blood transfusion, surgical suturing, and infection control. Before the surgery, the doctor will inject anesthesia into the parturient, and at this time, the parturient will not feel pain.
Due to the longer time required for twin cesarean section surgery, many mothers believe that twin cesarean section will be more painful, but this is actually an illusion. After a twin cesarean section, the mother should pay more attention to the wound and avoid contact with water. If there is redness, swelling, fever, or suspected wound infection, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
After a cesarean section, women should avoid making excessive movements in their daily lives. If coughing or laughing, the mother can support the wound with both hands or use a pillow to support the stomach, which can alleviate the pain.
