Patient's question:
Last month, when I was with my husband, I didn't take proper precautions. This month, I didn't get my period and took a pregnancy test, which came back positive. Now, I want to have an abortion without anesthesia. I'd like to consult a doctor about it. How long does it take to have an abortion without anesthesia? Do I need to stay in the hospital after the procedure? What are the postoperative precautions?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it has already been confirmed that there is a possibility of pregnancy, it is necessary to have an abortion surgery or actively go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Before the surgery, it is necessary to clearly determine the current growth and development of the embryo inside the uterine cavity and its specific size to decide on the method of miscarriage. Before anesthetic abortion, a physical examination is required. If there are no contraindications, the surgery can be completed in the outpatient department, taking about 10 minutes. After the surgery, it is necessary to closely monitor the data of vaginal bleeding.
