Patient's question:
Do I need to fast for an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, one should not eat before an abortion, and must fast and abstain from drinking water for at least 8 hours before an anesthesia-free abortion procedure. Additionally, the following preparations must be made before an abortion: 1. Abstain from sexual intercourse for at least one week before the abortion to avoid infection after the procedure. 2. Wash your hair and take a shower the night before the abortion surgery. On the day of the abortion, bring sanitary napkins and other daily necessities. 3. A comprehensive preoperative examination must be conducted before the abortion to further enhance the safety of the procedure.
