Patient's question:
Tomorrow morning I will have an abortion without anesthesia, arriving at 8:30, resting for 2 hours before the surgery. The doctor instructed that I cannot drink water from 2 PM to 6 PM today. I took the medicine at 4 PM. Can I drink water after eating dinner tonight? Will it interfere with tomorrow's anesthesia? What kind of assistance I need: Tomorrow morning I will have an abortion without anesthesia, how can I drink water tonight?Doctor's answer:
Anesthesia-free abortion requires the use of many special drugs, so fasting and dehydration are necessary beforehand. Generally, it is sufficient to fast for eight hours before the procedure. Therefore, you can eat until midnight, but nothing afterward. Alternatively, you can consult your doctor at the hospital for advice. Rest well after the procedure, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from sexual activity.
