Patient's question:
Pregnant for 42 days, do not plan to keep it. Preparing for an abortion, but don't know if I can eat before going to the hospital for a check-up, and what time is appropriate.Doctor's answer:
Hello, although a fasting period of 6 hours is required before an surgery, if you have to eat, you can drink a little water in the morning of the surgery day but avoid solid foods. Additionally, the first meal after an surgery should not be overeating, as it may affect gastrointestinal function. Before an anesthetic surgery, you must refrain from eating for six hours and drinking for three hours.Advice: If the pre-surgery check results are within the normal range and suitable for outpatient surgery, then the anesthetic surgery can be performed.
