Pain Relief During Labor and Delivery
Each woman’s labor is unique. The amount of pain a woman feels during labor may differ from that felt by another woman. Pain depends on many factors, such as the size and position of the baby and the strength of contractions.
Some women take classes to learn breathing and relaxation techniques to help cope with pain during childbirth. Others may find it helpful to use these techniques along with pain medications.
Types of Pain Relief
There are 2 types of pain-relieving drugs — analgesics and anesthetics. Analgesia is the relief of pain without total loss of feeling or muscle movement. Analgesics do not always stop pain completely, but they do lessen it.
Systemic Analgesics
Systemic analgesics are often given as injections into a muscle or vein. They lessen pain but will not cause you to lose consciousness. They act on the whole nervous system rather than a specific area.
Article continues below and (thank you)
Local Anesthesia
Local anesthesia provides numbness or loss of sensation in a small area. It does not, however, lessen the pain of contractions.
Regional Analgesia
Regional analgesia tends to be the most effective method of pain relief during labor and causes few side effects. Epidural analgesia, spinal blocks, and combined spinal-epidural blocks are all types of regional analgesia that are used to decrease labor pain.
General Anesthesia
General anesthetics are medications that put you to sleep (make you lose consciousness). If you have general anesthesia, you are not awake and you feel no pain. General anesthesia often is used when a regional block anesthetic is not possible or is not the best choice for medical or other reasons.
Anesthesia for Cesarean Births
Whether you have general, spinal, or epidural anesthesia for a cesarean birth will depend on your health and that of your baby. It also depends on why the cesarean delivery is being done. In emergencies or when bleeding occurs, general anesthesia may be needed.
Finally
Many women worry that receiving pain relief during labor will somehow make the experience less “natural.” The fact is, no two labors are the same, and no two women have the same amount of pain. Some women need little or no pain relief, and others find that pain relief gives them better control over their labor and delivery. Talk with your doctor about your options.

Our hands serve many purposes. Hands help us eat, dress, write, earn a living, create art, and do many other activities. To do these tasks and activities, our hands require sensation and movement, such as joint motion, tendon gliding and muscle contraction. When a problem takes place in the hand, care must be given to all the different types of tissues that make function of the hand possible. The field of hand surgery deals with both surgical and non-surgical treatment of conditions and problems that may take place in the hand or upper extremity (from the tip of the hand to the shoulder).
Many conditions occur in the upper extremity that can be treated by a hand surgeon. These conditions include immediate care of an injury, treatment and reconstruction of old injuries, congenital problems, arthritis, infection, and new growths and tumors. Hand surgeons also treat other problems, such as nerve compression syndromes and swelling of tendons. Microsurgery is used for the re-attachment of amputated parts and certain hand reconstructions. Some hand surgeons also take care of problems of the elbow and shoulder.
What Are the Qualifications of a Hand Surgeon?
Hand surgery is part of the practice of general surgery, orthopaedic surgery and plastic surgery. As surgical techniques in the upper extremity become more refined and complex, specialized training in upper extremity surgery continues to be very important. Training usually takes place during orthopaedic and plastic surgery residency, or a fellowship. A fellowship is an additional period of study in surgery after a physician completes a multi-year residency. Surgeons may take an examination in hand surgery, which qualifies them to obtain a Certificate of Added Qualifications in Surgery of the Hand.
What Is Hand Therapy?
When a problem takes place in the hand or upper extremity, making the hand work is the main goal. The objective of therapy is to provide exercises and activities designed to help return the hand to normal use. Therapy may be necessary after surgery and may be provided by your surgeon or a physical or occupational therapist with specialized training in rehabilitation of the upper extremity. Therapy sessions are important for recommending changes in the treatment program as well as keeping a record of progress being made. It is important that each patient understand their therapy program and practice it at home if maximum recovery is to be made. Achieving the best result following a hand injury or problem is a team effort of the patient, hand surgeon and hand therapist.
