Can I eat and drink before an abortion?

Patient's question:

Tomorrow I will have an abortion, I don't know if I can eat dinner and drink water. Can I eat dinner and drink water before having an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

If you are going to have an abortion surgery tomorrow, you can eat dinner and drink water today. You cannot overeat, but you should not have a heavy meal four to six hours before the surgery. I suggest you choose to go to the hospital in the morning tomorrow for the surgery. Today's diet should consist of light and easily digestible foods. Make sure to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the private parts. Regulate your physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
