About Postoperative pain from cesarean section.

Postoperative pain from cesarean section is an acute pain state experienced by obstetric patients following surgical delivery of an infant through abdominal and uterine incisions.

It involves a complex, dual-component nociceptive mechanism comprising somatic pain from the incised and retracted abdominal wall tissues—such as skin, fascia, and parietal peritoneum—and visceral pain from uterine incision, postpartum contractions, and peritoneal irritation.

Clinically, it manifests as moderate-to-severe localized abdominal and pelvic pain aggravated by physical movement, coughing, or breastfeeding-induced uterine contractions.

Without adequate control, this pain impairs early maternal ambulation, interferes with infant bonding and neonatal care, and increases the long-term risk of persistent postsurgical pain and postpartum depression.
