With the development of medical concepts, there are different ways to alleviate the pain of childbirth for women. The emergence of painless needles can help women reduce the pain that occurs during childbirth. This method is achieved by injecting anesthesia drugs. So, when should painless needles be injected during childbirth?
1. After the cervix is opened. The use of painless needles during vaginal delivery is to alleviate the pain during the delivery process by locally anesthetizing the body. Most of the time, the injection of painless needles begins when the cervix is about three centimeters open. During this process, the pregnant mother can also cooperate with the doctor to give birth. The role of anesthesia is only to block the sensory nerves during delivery.
2. Continuously injecting. Because the painless needle used during vaginal delivery lasts for about an hour and a half, but delivery may not be completed during this time. Therefore, when the mother experiences pain again, the painless needle can be injected again, and the number of injections can be calculated based on the duration of delivery.
3. Just reducing pain. Although it is called a painless needle, it does not mean that there is no pain after injection. Instead, local anesthesia is used to reduce some of the pain during childbirth. Therefore, it is important to know how to cooperate with doctors during childbirth in order to achieve a smoother delivery and reduce the number of injections of painless needles.
