Patient's question:
Pregnant unexpectedly for over a month, I decided to have a painless minimally invasive abortion surgery. Before the surgery, they said it would be like sleeping and everything would be fine afterward, just like having a menstrual period. But I still feel a lot of pain, much worse than menstrual pain. How can it be a painless abortion if it still hurts?Doctor's answer:
Anesthesia-free abortion surgery involves receiving a sedative before the procedure. As the anesthesia metabolizes, the sensation of pain will gradually and completely return. However, during the surgery itself, due to the effects of the anesthesia, the pain may not be as noticeable. Since you have just completed the surgery, it is important to rest well, avoid exposure to cold, and consume high-calorie, high-protein, and nutritious foods to prevent overexertion and lack of sleep.
