Hola amigos de esta grandiosa comunidad, disculpen mi ausencia, han sido días de felicidad y angustias, bueno les diré el contexto para qie no se sientan tan perdidos.
Hace un mes aproximadamente, mi hermana menor dió a luz a una hermosa princesa, la pequeña Amira, mi sobrina, la doctora la intervino ya que era por cesárea.
Una vecina, amiguita de mi hermana tuvo a su bebé con la misma doctora, así que le dió algunos tips como lo son:
- No hablar después de la cesárea.
- No levantar la cabeza, ni hacer ningún movimiento brusco con la cabeza.
- No tener almohadas.
- Cuando saliera de quirófano, tratara de mover los pies lo más antes posible para que la pasan a habitación.
Quizás, le habrá dado otras recomendaciones, sin embargo esas fueron las únicas que escuché.
Todo estuvo a pedir de boca, nació mi sobrina, gozando de buena salud, mi hermana siguió todas la instrucciones y recomendaciones correspondientes, hicieron todos los trámites, les hicieron algunos exámenes de laboratorio, y listo al otro día llegaron a casa.
Todo iba bien, hasta el 3er día, a mi hermana le comenzó a dar males tar de dolor de cabeza, lo primero que le dijeron es qie eso es a causa de la anestesia, bueno está bien, el dolor se fue intensificando.
El 4to día de darle pecho a la bebé, por el mal agarre de la misma, comenzó a dolerle el pecho específicamente el pezón, pues el dolor de cabeza se le intensificó más y más, a tal punto en que la tuvieron que llevar al hospital, la hidrataron, le pusieron tratamiento, tanto era el dolor de cabeza que la pasaron a quirofano para hacerle un parche epidural por la cefalea post punción.
Esta cefalea o dolor de cabeza es provocado por la salida del fluido cefaloraquideo, el médico tratante inyecta una pequeña cantidad de sangre en el espacio epidural cerca de la puncion anterior, ésta con la intención de que se vaya formando un coágulo, forma un parche, sella y detiene la fuga del liquido cefaloraquideo.

Sin embargo, luego de que le hicieron ese procedimiento y le dieron el alta en el hospital, seguía con el dolor intenso, ya no encontrábamos que hacer, estábamos desesperados, hacíamos todos los remedios caseros que nos recomendaban, tomar café cerrero, café cerrero con limón, leche fría, leche caliente, coca-cola, Nestea, agua de coco, entre otras cosas.
Después de dos semanas que nos parecieron eternas, tuvimos que llamar a un internista, lo cual nos dió un pequeño alivio, le puso tratamiento nuevamente, pero le dijo que por los síntomas ya no sería cefalea post punción, sino una cefalea por presion arterial, le mando a hacer muchos examenes de laboratorio, porque tenía que confirmar que causaba qué, si el dolor de cabeza subía la tensión arterial o viceversa.
Paso una semana más, con el dolor de cabeza pero un poco más leve, siguiendo tratamiento, la refirieron a un internista, lo cual le puso un tratamiento para la presión arterial y bueno, ya le ha calmado el dolor.
Por fin a comenzado a disfrutar de su maternidad y su bebé, siempre nos dicen que una cesárea es un poquito complicada por el post-parto, Pero nunca pensé que podía llegar a tal punto, mi hermana me dice que pensaba que se iba a volver loca del dolor, pero bueno, gracias a Dios, ya todo pasó.
Y gracias a usted, por llegar hasta aquí.

Hello friends of this great community, excuse my absence, they have been days of happiness and anguish, well I will tell you the context so that you do not feel so lost.
Approximately a month ago, my younger sister gave birth to a beautiful princess, little Amira, my niece, the doctor operated on her since she had a cesarean section.
A neighbor, a friend of my sister, had her baby with the same doctor, so she gave her some tips such as:
- Do not talk after cesarean section.
- Do not raise your head or make any sudden movement with your head.
- Not having pillows.
-When she came out of the operating room, she would try to move her feet as soon as possible so that they could move her to the room.
Perhaps she would have given you other recommendations, however those were the only ones I heard.
Everything went perfectly, my niece was born, enjoying good health, my sister followed all the corresponding instructions and recommendations, they did all the paperwork, they did some laboratory tests, and that's it, the next day they arrived home.
Everything was going well, until the 3rd day, my sister started to get a headache, the first thing they told her was that it was because of the anesthesia, well that's fine, the pain intensified.
On the 4th day of breastfeeding the baby, due to her poor latch, her breast began to hurt, specifically her nipple, as the headache intensified more and more, to the point where they had to take her to the hospital. , they hydrated her, they gave her treatment, the headache was so bad that they took her to the operating room to give her an epidural patch for the post-puncture headache.
This headache is caused by the release of cerebrospinal fluid. The treating doctor injects a small amount of blood into the epidural space near the previous puncture, with the intention of forming a clot, forming a patch, seals and stops the leak of cerebrospinal fluid.

However, after they did that procedure and they discharged him from the hospital, he continued with intense pain, we couldn't find what to do anymore, we were desperate, we did all the home remedies that were recommended to us, drinking Cerrero coffee, Cerrero coffee with lemon, cold milk, hot milk, Coca-Cola, Nestea, coconut water, among other things.
After two weeks that seemed like forever, we had to call an internist, which gave us a little relief, he gave him treatment again, but told him that the symptoms would no longer be a post-puncture headache, but rather a headache due to blood pressure, I sent him to do many laboratory tests, because I had to confirm what caused what, whether the headache raised the blood pressure or vice versa.
Another week passed, with the headache but a little milder, following treatment, they referred her to an internist, who gave her a treatment for her blood pressure and well, the pain has now calmed down.
She has finally begun to enjoy her motherhood and her baby. They always tell us that a cesarean section is a little complicated due to the postpartum. But I never thought it could reach such a point. My sister tells me that she thought she was going to come back. crazy with pain, but hey, thank God, everything is over.
And thanks to you, for getting here.
