Patient's question:
I have booked an appointment with a doctor and will go to the hospital tomorrow for medication-induced abortion. Hello doctor, is it painful to have a uterine clearance directly after medication-induced abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the residual tissue from medication abortion is not completely expelled, a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure may be necessary, which can be painful. If you are concerned about the pain, you can opt for a painless D&C, where a sedative is administered intravenously, making the procedure painless. After the surgery, it is important to avoid cold exposure and prevent catching a cold. Eat easily digestible foods, avoid mental stress, prevent overexertion, avoid staying up late, and ensure sufficient deep sleep.
