Under normal circumstances, painless abortion surgery still requires fasting.

After certain drugs are injected during intravenous anesthesia, the patient will fall into a sleep state. During this time, surgery is generally performed without any pain. If you eat food or water before anesthesia, it is easy for it to reflux into the esophagus during anesthesia, causing aspiration, choking, and even severe asphyxiation or cardiac arrest.
