Patient's question:
I accidentally got pregnant. I can have the baby, but I'm planning to have an abortion. However, others say it will be very painful. How painful is an abortion really?Doctor's answer:
A flow-through refers to a standard D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure, where a device using negative pressure suction removes early pregnancy tissue from the uterine cavity. It is a method for terminating early pregnancy, and generally, the surgery cannot be performed if the pregnancy has lasted more than 10 weeks. The most suitable time is between 45 and 55 days of pregnancy. Usually, an abortion procedure can be somewhat painful, even more intense than normal menstrual cramps. This also varies depending on each person's sensitivity to pain.
