Question

How can labor pain be alleviated? What methods can be used to relieve discomfort during childbirth?

Answer

For pregnant women who fear labor pain, a cesarean section can be chosen to ease the pain. However, if conditions permit, natural childbirth is still recommended as it is more beneficial for the baby. To alleviate labor pain, it is suggested to perform appropriate activities and breathing exercises under the guidance of a doctor, and methods such as cold compresses, hot compresses, and massage can be used to relieve muscle tension. Additionally, psychological support during the childbirth process is very important, and seeking the company of family and friends or the assistance of a professional midwife can be helpful.
