Which is more painful, clamping or induction of labor?

After becoming pregnant, women may be affected by various factors and be unable to have the child. Therefore, some women who have an unexpected pregnancy will undergo abortion to solve this problem. Because the months of pregnancy are different, the specific surgical procedures are also different. Currently, the more common methods in clinical practice include painless abortion, clamp surgery and induced labor. So which one is more painful, clamping or induction?

1. If the pregnancy lasts for a long time and is terminated after more than 10 weeks, a clamp surgery is required. After 12 weeks of pregnancy, induced abortion is required. In comparison, the clamping operation takes a shorter time, generally about 10 minutes, while after the induced abortion operation, regular uterine contractions and dilation of the cervix are required, so it will take a little longer and will be more painful. If there is no desire to continue the pregnancy, it is recommended to terminate the pregnancy in the early stages, as the time is shorter and the impact on the body will be smaller.

2. What is referred to as "induced labor" in medicine is what people generally call "inducing labor." Clamping is a type of abortion surgery. It is performed when the pregnancy needs to be terminated between 10 and 14 weeks of pregnancy (the best time for clamping). Because the fetus is large, clamping is required. Generally speaking, it is best to perform these operations under general anesthesia. It is painless when done unconsciously. Of course, some people with shallow anesthesia may still feel slight pain. This depends on whether they are sensitive to anesthetics and the level of the anesthesiologist. But it is definitely much less painful than not doing it painlessly. It is worth mentioning that in foreign countries, general anesthesia is advocated as safer than partial anesthesia.

3. In addition, the measures taken are different for different sizes of gestational sac. First of all, it is necessary to clarify the size of the gestational sac before determining what measures need to be taken. Curettage does not require hospitalization, but induced labor requires hospitalization for observation, and uterine curettage is required. Curettage is to directly clamp the baby out of the uterine cavity, which means that the baby is not intact. Induction of labor is to first kill the embryo with drugs, then use drugs to induce uterine contractions, and then give birth to the baby, which is similar to the process of giving birth.
