Does local anesthesia induce pain during induced abortion?

Patient's question:

I accidentally got pregnant but don't want to keep it. General anesthesia is too expensive and I don't have the money. I want to ask if local anesthesia for an abortion hurts?

Doctor's answer:

If it is an accidental pregnancy but you do not want the child, then the anesthesia used for this procedure must be painless, which is known as a painless abortion. This type of anesthesia will never be expensive, but the cost will definitely increase. It will require several hundred to a thousand yuan extra compared to a regular abortion surgery. The anesthesia drug typically used is general anesthesia, but there may still be pain after leaving the operating table.
