Patient's question:
Planning to have a medication abortion. The first morning, I went to the hospital for a blood test to confirm pregnancy, and in the afternoon, I went to pick up the test results to confirm the pregnancy. Then, I had a gynecological examination. I was diagnosed with candidiasis (yeast infection). So, do I need to fast for the medication abortion test?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to checks, they are usually basic, such as checking blood tests, coagulation function, ultrasound, and the like. There are no special requirements, except that you need to hold your urine before the ultrasound. Some hospitals may have specific requirements, so if you're unsure, it's best to go to the hospital in the morning on an empty stomach for the check.For blood tests, they are generally concerned about anemia that could lead to bleeding-related incidents. Normal tests also include liver function tests (such as the two pairs of half tests) and other infectious disease screening. These are usually mandatory for surgery.
