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 abortion surgery, if it is unavoidable to eat, then you can drink a little water in the morning of the surgery day and avoid solid foods. Additionally, the first meal after an abortion surgery should not be overeating, otherwise it may affect gastrointestinal function. Before an anesthesia-induced abortion surgery, you must refrain from eating for six hours and drinking for three hours.Suggestions: If the pre-surgery check results are within the normal range and suitable for outpatient surgery, then the anesthesia-induced abortion surgery can be performed.
