Prevalence of back-pain following caesarean section under spinal anesthesia

Back pain following a caesarean section is a typical complaint. It has been statistically proven that more than 70% of cases, or 7 out of 10 women who give birth, endure back pain. If it is not treated at the appropriate time and with adequate measurement, the back pain may worsen in the future. A systematic literature search was performed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with back pain among patients undergoing spinal anesthesia. Many studies have attempted to determine risk factors for back pain after birth in different populations, using different methods and outcome variables. Data were collected from PubMed, Google scholar and the medicine and nursing database. Back pain that persists after a caesarean delivery is brought on by a number of circumstances. Post-partum back pain is linked to a history involving pre- and post-pregnancy back pain, obesity, bad posture while nursing, sitting, walking, and standing are the contributing factors. The study results show that by maintaining posture correction, yoga, meditation, lumbar support, rest and massage helps to alleviate post anesthetic back pain. This study confirms that the overall incidence of back pain is high in comparison to the majority of studies. The severity of back pain caused by spinal anesthesia is highly connected to the size of the spinal needle, body mass index, and number of attempts, body posture and number of bone contacts
