Can I eat before having an abortion?

There are many things you need to pay attention to before having an abortion. If you are not careful, the operation will fail or have to be postponed. One of them is that you cannot eat or drink before the abortion, otherwise you may vomit out what you eat during the operation. So don't eat before the abortion. Let’s take a look at whether you can eat before having an abortion?

You cannot eat before having a painless abortion and should fast for 8 hours before the operation. This is because abortion surgery requires intravenous anesthesia for the patient. The patient is unconscious after anesthesia, and the muscles of the whole body are in a relaxed state. The effective throat swallowing reflex will be affected, and the food eaten before the operation will flow back into the mouth. If there is no time to swallow the vomitus, the vomitus will choke into the respiratory tract, causing aspiration pneumonia, and sometimes even blocking the respiratory tract, leading to suffocation, and other anesthesia accidents.

First of all, you must choose a regular hospital for abortion surgery and perform the surgery at the best time to ensure the safety of the surgery to the greatest extent possible. Secondly, the best time for abortion is 35-50 days after pregnancy. At this time, the gestational sac is clearly visible under B-ultrasound. The gestational sac is not large, the uterine wall is thicker, and the gestational sac can be easily sucked out. Relatively speaking, it causes little harm to the body, has low surgical risks, and recovers quickly. Late abortion: As the embryo grows gradually, the placenta has been formed, and the uterus also grows, it is not appropriate to use simple suction uterine abortion at this time, but need to use forceps curettage abortion. The operation is difficult, involves a lot of bleeding, and has a relatively slow recovery, which has a certain impact on the body. Therefore, it is dangerous to have an abortion too early or too late. It must be done within the best time.

Premature abortion: If an abortion is performed before 35 days of pregnancy, the fetus is still too small. If an abortion is performed too early, the embryo has just developed and is still very small, so it is easy to have empty or missed aspiration, resulting in failure of the operation or incomplete abortion, and the result is that another uterine curettage will be required. This undoubtedly increases the risk of surgery. Generally speaking, abortion can be performed within 70 days of pregnancy, and the best time is around 35-50 days after pregnancy. Because the fetus and placenta have not yet formed during this period, the uterus is not very large, and abortion is easy and risky. In most cases, cervical dilation does not need to be performed, and the fetal tissue can be easily sucked out. In addition, the pregnant woman's reaction is mild, bleeding is less, and recovery after surgery is also quick.

For abortion surgery, the fees charged have a fixed structure, namely the costs of preoperative examination, surgery, and postoperative anti-inflammatory treatment. The charges for these three aspects are obviously not something that can be omitted, because whether it is the preoperative examination items or the anti-inflammatory treatment done after the operation for the speedy recovery of the body, they can help women reduce the degree of damage to the body caused by abortion as much as possible, and it is also a guarantee for the safe and smooth completion of the entire abortion process. Once a woman discovers in advance that she has gynecological inflammation, the cost of treating the inflammation before an abortion will be additional, which results in differences in fees charged to different women. Opinion and suggestion: Women should not be too concerned about the price before having an abortion. First, they should choose a regular painless abortion hospital. Secondly, they should choose a painless abortion technology that suits them. This is especially true for unmarried and childless women. It is recommended to choose minimally invasive visual abortion technology.
