Does it hurt after an abortion surgery?

Patient's question:

I am more than two months pregnant and now want to have an abortion. Will it hurt after an abortion procedure? Will it affect fertility in the future?

Doctor's answer:

During the painless abortion procedure, you will not feel any pain because it is performed under general anesthesia. However, you may experience some pain one week after the surgery, which is typically cramping due to the uterus contracting. This is a common occurrence after the procedure. Generally, the pain lasts for about a week, and you should not feel any pain after that. After an abortion, it is important to follow up with anti-inflammatory and blood-activating treatments to regulate your menstrual cycle. Regular follow-up check-ups are also necessary.
