All organs in our body contain pain receptors. The primary function of these receptors is to transmit these stimuli to the brain when a potential threat is detected or tissue damage occurs, thereby enabling the body to protect itself. When epidural anesthesia is administered, painful stimuli reach the spinal cord. However, thanks to epidural anesthesia, the nerve fibers that transmit pain to the brain are temporarily numbed. Through this mechanism, the expectant mother does not feel the pain signals arriving at the spinal cord, as these signals cannot reach the brain. Consequently, pain from uterine contractions during childbirth, episiotomy (cutting of the vaginal wall during delivery), or the baby's exit is not felt. Similarly, if epidural anesthesia is used during a cesarean section, the mother does not feel the cutting of the abdominal muscles. During the operation, sensations of pressure and touch may persist, but the perception of pain is completely eliminated.
