What to do if the needle eye of the back anesthetic hurts after cesarean section

After a cesarean section, pain at the anesthetic needle hole in the back occurs. This is also a common complication of spinal anesthesia. The reason is that a puncture will be performed during the anesthesia process, which will cut some ligaments between the lumbar vertebrae. This cutting is inevitable and will eventually lead to pain. The mother needs to pay more attention to nutrition and provide good care in her daily life. Avoid causing further impact.

Post-cesarean section care

Post-cesarean section care 1

Purpose of early activity: Patients who undergo cesarean section are more likely to develop deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs, so pregnant women who choose cesarean section should engage in some activities as early as possible. Risk factors for this disease include obesity, inability to get out of bed and move around early, older age, and multiparous women. The clinical manifestations are lower limb pain, tenderness, edema, accelerated heartbeat and breathing.

After cesarean section, the pregnant woman's feet will regain sensation and she should perform some simple limb activities at this time. After 24 hours, practice turning over, sitting up, and getting out of bed and moving slowly. After the catheter is removed, you should walk more. This will not only increase gastrointestinal motility, but also prevent intestinal adhesion and venous thrombosis. Before getting out of bed, you can tie your abdomen with a belly band, which will reduce the pain caused by vibration when walking.

Post-cesarean section care 2

Timely urination and defecation: to prevent urinary tract infection, constipation, etc. for pregnant women after surgery. Generally, the indwelling urinary catheter will be removed after the intravenous drip is completed on the second day after surgery. Urinating should be done 3 to 4 hours after removal to achieve the purpose of natural flushing of the urinary tract. If you are not used to urinating in bed, you can get out of bed and go to the toilet. If you still can't urinate, you should tell your doctor until you can urinate smoothly. Otherwise, it is easy to cause urinary tract infection. After cesarean section, due to the pain of the wound, the abdomen is afraid to exert force, and urine and feces cannot be excreted smoothly, which can easily cause urinary retention and constipation. If there are hemorrhoids, the situation will become more serious. Therefore, after the operation, the mother should urinate and defecate in time according to her usual habits.

Post-cesarean section care 3

Purpose of a light diet: Pregnant women should eat light liquid food 6 hours after a caesarean section. Before eating, they can moisten their throat with a small amount of warm water, about 50 ml each time. If they have abdominal distension or vomiting, they should get out of bed and move around more, or apply peppermint oil around their navel. The main purpose is to avoid vomiting or abdominal distension. Within 6 hours after cesarean section surgery, the anesthetic effect has not yet disappeared and the systemic response is low. In order to avoid choking, vomiting, etc., the mother should temporarily fast. If she is really thirsty, she can be fed a small amount of warm water at intervals.

After the operation, avoid eating foods that produce gas, spicy and irritating foods, and consume more fiber to promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation. Eat more foods high in protein, vitamins and minerals to help tissue repair (such as fish, chicken).

Post-cesarean section care 4

The purpose of lochia observation: mainly to avoid postpartum hemorrhage. Whether it is a natural birth or a cesarean section, lochia should be closely observed after delivery. During cesarean section, uterine bleeding is heavy and attention should be paid to the amount of vaginal bleeding. If heavy vaginal bleeding is found or the sanitary napkin becomes soaked within 2 hours and exceeds the amount of menstrual bleeding by a lot, medical staff should be notified in time.
