The incidence of moderate-to-severe postoperative pain was high in the first 24-h postoperative period; this indicates that pain management after cesarean section was treated inadequately. History of previous cesarean section, preoperative anxiety, transverse incision, and incision length >10 cm were the factors of postoperative acute pain after cesarean section. Therefore, we suggest the study institution develop a protocol for pain management.
