Is it painful to have an abortion without anesthesia?

Patient's question:

I'm only 20 years old, but I'm already pregnant. Then, I got married to my boyfriend, so I chose to have an abortion with anesthesia. I'm the kind of person who gets easily scared of pain. Is it painful to have an abortion with anesthesia? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Sexually active again and not wanting to have a child can decide on an abortion procedure. Generally speaking, at this age, if this situation occurs again due to lifestyle habits or personal factors, it is often necessary to give up the child. The options available are medication abortion or surgical abortion. First, medication abortion is possible within 42 days of pregnancy, and if it is before this time, surgical abortion is the only option. Painless abortion also involves pain; there will be no pain on the operating table, but pain will occur after the surgery.
