Do you need anesthesia for an abortion? If not, will it be..

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is not required. For medication abortion, it is within 45 days; for induced abortion, it is within 60 days; for Dilation and Curettage (D&C), it is within 100 days; and for induction abortion, it is within 6 months.
Medication abortion (using mifepristone and misoprostol). However, it may fail, requiring a follow-up D&C. If there is a significant amount of residual tissue in the uterus, a D&C must be performed.
