Will an abortion without anesthesia be very painful?

Patient's question:

Female, 25 years old, currently does not want children, wants to have an abortion without pain, but I have always been afraid of pain. Will it be very painful to have an abortion without pain?

Doctor's answer:

Abortion without pain is the main method for undergoing abortion at present, because anesthesia is used during the surgery, so there is no feeling of pain during the procedure. However, after waking up post-surgery, when the anesthetic effect wears off, there may be a sense of pain, but it is usually manageable and you don’t need to worry too much. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
