Patient's question:
I am 25 years old. I didn't take proper contraceptive measures with my boyfriend before, and now I have a child, so I chose to have an abortion. Can I eat before undergoing an abortion procedure?Doctor's answer:
First, you need to know that an abortion without pain requires anesthesia, so you cannot eat breakfast beforehand to avoid nausea and potentially serious conditions such as difficulty breathing. Generally, it is recommended that you fast and avoid drinking for at least 4 hours before the surgery. After the procedure, you can start eating high-calorie, easily digestible foods 30 minutes later. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
