Is the abortion process painful?

Patient's question:

I am nine months pregnant and will be giving birth very soon. I've heard that giving birth is extremely painful, so people have told me to prepare mentally. Since this is my first child, I don't know if induction labor is a good option, so I want to know if the induction labor process is painful?

Doctor's answer:

An induced abortion refers to a situation where fetal development is abnormal, making it impossible to focus on preserving the child. Through artificial means, the growth and development of the fetus are promoted to stop, and then the fetus is delivered through the vagina or removed via a cesarean section. The process of induced abortion is more painful than normal labor, and it should only be performed under strict indications. Therefore, if there are no other abnormalities, induced abortion is not recommended.
