Is it okay to work while on medication abortion and have to stand up?

Patient's question:

I previously became pregnant due to my own lack of rest. Although I have had an abortion now, I want to know if it's okay to work while on medication for the abortion. It's very tiring like this.

Doctor's answer:

This does not require standing because first, it is not particularly painful for the body. The use of intravenous anesthesia makes the patient completely unconscious, and the doctor can complete the procedure within 3-5 minutes. After the surgery, consciousness is fully restored. A few people may experience menstrual-like cramps. Moreover, minimally invasive, visual, and painless abortions do not leave surgical scars, so there is no need to worry too much.
Recommendation: It is recommended to have the procedure performed in a regular hospital. Generally, there will not be too much pain after a painless abortion, but it is also possible to experience mild discomfort again. If severe pain reoccurs, it is important to be cautious and pay attention to attending follow-up appointments at the hospital on time.
