Is it painful to have a medical abortion?

If medical abortion is not complete, you will need to choose uterine curettage. Some people may be concerned about whether medical abortion or uterine curettage is painful. At present, the relatively painful uterine curettage surgery is rarely performed, but it still exists. For example, in some small places, due to limited economic development, uterine curettage surgery is often performed without anesthesia. Although this operation method may make female friends feel pain, as long as strict disinfection is carried out and the operating doctor has rich experience, it will not cause any harm to the body after the operation. So, medical abortion and uterine cleaning can be very painful or not painful.

Although a uterine curettage can be performed if medical abortion is not complete, it is best to avoid medical abortion as much as possible. This type of abortion is very harmful, for example, it can easily cause adhesions of the cervix or endometrium, and may also cause serious bacterial infections. Especially after medical abortion, a uterine curettage may be required. If the instruments are not sterilized properly during the uterine curettage, bacteria can easily invade the uterus and fallopian tubes, which can easily cause female infertility.

If you want to have a uterine curettage after a medical abortion, some preparations are necessary. For example, on the day of the uterine curettage, try to wear loose pants and bring your own sanitary napkins and toilet paper. Avoid sexual intercourse one week before surgery. If the body temperature exceeds 37.5 degrees Celsius twice before surgery, surgery should be postponed.

After the uterine curettage, you should rest in the hospital for at least an hour. You can leave the hospital only after the doctor confirms that you are not seriously ill. Do not run home immediately after the uterine curettage. Do not ride a bicycle or motorcycle after the operation, and it is best not to take the bus. You can choose to take a taxi home, or walk home if the distance is short. After returning home, you should try your best to avoid cold and keep your body warm.
