Patient's question:
I am 24 years old. Previously, I had sex without protection, which led to pregnancy and a miscarriage. Now, I have stomach pain and am not recovering well. Yesterday, I had sex again and am afraid of getting pregnant again. Can I eat before an abortion surgery?Doctor's answer:
Before an abortion surgery, patients are not allowed to eat. This is because they need to fast for eight hours before the surgery and avoid drinking for four hours. Generally, they should not eat anything after 10 PM the previous night. Additionally, apart from preventing cold exposure and reoccurrence of infections before the surgery, it is mainly to reduce the risk of the procedure. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable Grade III-A hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
