Detailed Description

Before the spinal anesthesia procedure, the anxiety and depression levels of the patients will be evaluated with the 14-scale 'hospital anxiety and depression scale.' The spinal anesthesia procedure will be performed by the anesthesiologist responsible for the patient. At the end of the spinal anesthesia procedure, a researcher with no knowledge of the patient's menstrual phase information will ask rate the spinal needle-puncture pain felt during spinal anesthesia with a numerical rating scale (NRS), which is graded from 1 to 10 (0: no pain, 10: very severe pain).
