Patient's question:
Embryo 1.3 cm: Is it better to have an abortion without anesthesia or medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, regarding whether medication abortion is better or painless abortion is better, let me explain. Painless abortion is better, and I recommend choosing the superconducting visual painless abortion procedure. This indeed causes less pain. Starting from the first day of the last menstrual period, the best time is generally between 40 and 70 days of pregnancy. It is recommended to choose the superconducting visual painless abortion procedure, as it causes the least damage to the endometrium. The possibility of affecting future pregnancy is slightly reduced.Painless abortion uses a new, safe, and effective intravenous general anesthetic drug. The operator receives intravenous medication and enters a state of sleep within about 30 seconds. Under the mother's unconsciousness, the doctor can complete the surgery in about 3 minutes, with the entire procedure taking only 5 to 7 minutes. The mother fully recovers consciousness after the surgery and can leave the hospital on her own within 30 minutes. This is because the surgery is performed under anesthesia, which reduces pain.
However, it is not completely painless. There is a slight amount of pain when the anesthetic is administered. If the pregnancy is more than 70 days but less than 14 weeks, a forceps curettage procedure is performed. If it exceeds 14 weeks, it falls under the category of mid-pregnancy and requires induction of labor.
The above is the answer to whether medication abortion is better or painless abortion is better.
