Doctor's answer:
1, Patients need to take a bath before the abortion surgery and change into clean underwear and pants;2, Wear loose pants as much as possible, and prepare your own sanitary pads and toilet paper.
3, Avoid sexual activity within one week before the abortion surgery;
4, If undergoing a painless abortion, fast for about 6 hours before the surgery, avoiding food and water;
5, Take misoprostol orally before the surgery, which helps soften the cervix, increase tension, and enhance intrauterine effects, reducing the risk of cervical damage and adhesion;
