43 Best Epidurals Doctors In Navi Mumbai

An epidural is a type of anaesthesia. The injection is given in the back to stop or minimise the pain in that part of the body.

Epidural anaesthesia is given in different conditions:
(1) If you want painless childbirth or caesarean delivery
(2) During some surgeries
(2) Post-surgery in some cases

Epidurals are safe, but there are some side effects, such as
(1) low blood pressure causing light-headedness and nausea
(2) loss of bladder control
(3) itching

An epidural does not diminish labour pain but reduces it to a greater extent. It enables you to move around, and you can sense the childbirth.

There are some risks associated with an epidural as well. It may cause slow or difficult breathing, drowsiness, permanent nerve damage, fits (convulsions), or death in rare cases.
