Patient's question:
My girlfriend found out last month that she had an unexpected pregnancy. Tomorrow, I'm going with her to have an abortion. I'm wondering how quickly it is?Doctor's answer:
Your girlfriend got pregnant accidentally and had an abortion surgery. The general surgery time is relatively short and will never be less than half an hour. If it's a painless abortion surgery, the time may be slightly longer. It's recommended to have a fasting and water restriction of less than six hours before the surgery if it's a painless abortion. If it's a regular abortion surgery, it's best to have a light diet and avoid overeating to prevent nausea and vomiting due to surgical pain.
