Patient's question:
Hello, I am going to the hospital tomorrow for an abortion surgery. The doctor said it can only be local anesthesia. I am very nervous and afraid it will be extremely painful. Is local anesthesia really going to be extremely painful?Doctor's answer:
First, before the surgery, you need to be anesthetized for four hours without water and eight hours without food. After 10 PM, you should not eat anything anymore. If you feel hungry, you can receive intravenous fluids. After the surgery, you generally need to lie flat for two hours.After going home, avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods. Do not take a bath. Pay attention to resting your body. Also, make sure to keep warm.
In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any type of abortion procedure will cause some damage to a woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. For abortion patients, self-care is important, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
