Patients aged between 18 - 45 years whose underwent urgent or elective cesarean section will be invited to participate in the study.

In postoperative 6 months after discharge, patients will be called by an investigator who is blind to the study to evaluate the presence of chronic pain. Patients will be asked to grade the pain that they suffer using a numeric rating scale for the intensity of pain.
