The perception of pain during labor and delivery varies between individuals. Especially, first-time mothers need proper antenatal counseling regarding a good nutritious diet, antenatal exercises, and the physiology of labor pains.
Talking about labor & delivery, one of the most notable developments in controlling labor pain is epidural anaesthesia.

It is especially useful for women who are apprehensive about the severe pain usually linked with giving birth.

The drug takes effect by preventing the pain messages from being transmitted to the brain, enabling the woman to feel less pain during childbirth.

While epidural anaesthesia has numerous advantages, it does have some potential disadvantages:
Sudden drop in the blood pressure. Monitoring and proper intervention can reduce this complication.
Pelvic floor relaxation because of which the baby's head may not rotate and forceps application may be required to help in delivery may arise in such cases.
Slightly increased rate of instrumental delivery (e.g., forceps or vacuum aid) and caesarean section. This is not directly due to the epidural but due to the multifactorial interaction during labor.

A couple of years back when my uncle Dr D K Tandon was diagnosed with Dementia, we were looking for a decent place where he can be taken care of. We chanced upon Vardaan Senior Citizen centre. I spoke to Dr Rekha Khandelwal and found her to be quite empathetic & considerate in her approach. My uncle is staying in Vardaan for last couple of years and we are grateful to Dr Rekha and her staff for taking care of my uncle.
My mother, Manorama Devi, was a patient of Parkinson’s disease and paralysis. We were managing her at home but due to complications of the illness and lack of trained caregivers I had to shift her to Vardaan Senior Citizens Home. Vardaan is truly home away from home and the entire staff under the able guidance of both Dr Rekha Khandelwal and Dr Rajiv Khandelwal works tirelessly to make the senior citizens feel at home.
