Catale section

Luminal anesthesia is medically called subarachnoid block. C-section is generally used to achieve the purpose of anesthesia.

Lumbar anesthesia can really cause headaches after surgery! It is one of the postoperative complications.

When does a headache occur after anesthesia?

more than 2 to 7 days after the operation. Generally, the headache can be relieved and disappeared within one week, but there are also those that have not recovered for a relatively long time.

Postpartum headache duration does not necessarily last

Why does lumbar numbness cause headache after surgery?

Lumbar numbness needs to be entered through lumbar puncture, because it is necessary to penetrate the dura and arachnoid membrane to reach the subarachnoid cavity. The blood supply of these two membranes is poor and the puncture holes are not easy to heal, so our cerebrospinal fluid will leak out, causing us headaches.

Bed and rest after surgery

How can I prevent or relieve this headache?

First, try to cooperate with the doctor during anesthesia and avoid multiple punctures;

Second, listen to the doctor after the operation, try to rest in bed, and follow the doctor's instructions during the time.

The most important point is that there are contraindications for lumbar anesthesia. Do not hide your medical history before the operation, such as spinal tuberculosis, cerebromeningitis, mental illness, etc.
