Does the epidural needle hurt?

The epidural needle may cause pain during the puncture due to the thickness of the needle, but the local anesthetic is injected during the operation, resulting in only minor pain. If epidural anesthesia is used for caesarean section and lower abdominal operation, it may appear similar to visceral drag pain according to the different anesthetic effects. Other intravenous anesthesia drugs can reduce the pain, so that the operative area does not produce pain during the operation. After the anesthesia is gone, the operative site will gradually recover the pain.
