Evaluation of Post-dural Puncture Headache in Female Patients Undergoing Obstetric and Non-obstetric Surgery

The goal of this observational study is to compare the incidence, severity, and potential risk factors for Post-dural Puncture headaches (PDPH) in obstetric and non-obstetric female patients undergoing spinal anesthesia. The main questions it aims to answer are: Are there differences between these two groups? Are there contributing factors? Researchers will compare obstetric and non-obstetric patients to see if pregnancy affects female patients in context of PDPH. Participants will be monitored periodically for PDPH development. The frequency and severity of headaches will be assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and Wong-Baker Scale. Additionally, the need for medical consultations and any complications arising from PDPH will be recorded.
