Is it really painless to have an abortion?

Patient's question:

I recently found out I'm pregnant because my period has been delayed by half a month. I've been feeling very weak and nauseous when eating, and my breasts are also very sore. But I really don't want this child, so I want to go to the hospital for an abortion.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the so-called painless abortion is designed to relieve the patient's suffering. A proper amount of anesthetic medication is injected into the patient's body through an intravenous route, putting them in a temporary unconscious state during the surgical procedure. Since it is a short-acting intravenous anesthetic, the patient can quickly regain consciousness after the abortion, as if they had been sleeping. When the patient wakes up, the surgery is already over, and they generally feel no discomfort. Therefore, painless abortions performed in hospitals do not cause pain or postoperative complications, and patients need not worry.
