[Dr. Yamazaki] For those who are worried about surgery

I started working in January of this year and took a break due to maternity leave, but returned in July.Thank you.

Well, childbirth is accompanied by pain.This was actually my third time giving birth, but since I'm scared and sensitive to pain, I've chosen a hospital each time hoping for a painless delivery.However, painless childbirth is not always successful because the timing is not right or childbirth occurs too early.
I wasn't expecting much this time, but on my third try, I finally succeeded in having a pain-free delivery.
With the peace of mind of anesthesia and the lack of pain, it was a much easier and less anxious birth than I had ever had before.Anesthesia is amazing!It was a good opportunity to reaffirm this and think about how stressful pain and anxiety can be.

The level of pain is different from childbirth, but there is a lot of anxiety about eye surgery.Most people are very nervous during surgery.As for pain, it is possible to sufficiently suppress it with conventional eye drops and anesthesia.Laughing gas anesthesia is a reliable anesthesia that reduces not only pain but also anxiety.Although it varies from person to person, you can undergo the surgery in a relaxed, almost tipsy state (this may not be possible in some cases, so please consult with us).
Also, anesthesia and drugs are not the only ways to relieve pain and anxiety.This is understandable from past childbirth experience, but pain and anxiety can be reduced through safe, retro methods such as talking to the patient during surgery and holding the patient with a pillow.
If you are worried about surgery and are hesitant about treatment, please feel free to contact us.We will do our best to make your surgery as comfortable as possible.
