What kind of anesthetic is used for painless abortion?

Patient's question:

What kind of anesthetic is used for painless abortion? After undergoing a painless abortion, what should one eat to help the body recover?

Doctor's answer:

General painless abortions typically use intravenous anesthesia with propofol, which is quickly metabolized within two hours. After the procedure, it's important to avoid cold exposure, prevent catching a cold, and avoid extremely cold, hard, or spicy foods. Instead, consume more fish, beans, eggs, and lean meat. Opt for soft, easy-to-digest foods and avoid hard foods. Pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene. Avoid sexual activity for the first month. Return for a follow-up check-up after two weeks. If there is continuous bleeding that increases, seek immediate follow-up treatment.
