Patient's question:
Hello, I had an abortion surgery at noon, and it was under general anesthesia. Now my lower limbs feel numb, and there's also some pain down there. When I went to the toilet to urinate, my abdomen felt like being cut by a knife, which was very painful. Is this normal? How long does the anesthesia used for an abortion surgery usually last?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, anesthesia generally needs about 6 hours to completely lose its effect. In your case, you also have normal anesthesia, which will gradually lose its effect. After an abortion, the recurrence of uterine contraction may cause mild pain symptoms in the patient. After an abortion, symptomatic oral anti-inflammatory drugs are also needed, and attention should be paid to diet to prevent catching a cold. Rest. Generally, after an abortion, you need to rest for one month.
