Does it hurt after a painless abortion?

Patient's question:

I am 26 years old, and I just had an abortion with anesthesia. However, I still feel a lot of pain in my stomach. I don't know if this is normal. Can you tell me if it's normal to have pain after an abortion with anesthesia?

Doctor's answer:

During the painless abortion procedure, anesthesia must be used, and the pregnant woman remains in a deep sleep throughout the process. The surgery only takes 3-5 minutes to complete. After the medication wears off, there may be a slight sensation of pain, but it is generally manageable. Post-surgery, it is important to pay attention to self-care. In daily life, patients should maintain a balanced intake of nutrients, engage in aerobic exercises to strengthen their bodies, and keep a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and accelerate the recovery process.
