How long will it take for me to wake up after painless uterine curettage?

In modern life, more and more women choose to use surgery to solve the problem of unwanted pregnancy. This is because advances in modern medical technology have enabled women to no longer have to endure the pain of pregnancy and can terminate pregnancy early without causing a major impact on their lives. This technique is also called surgical abortion, among which uterine curettage is an important step. Let’s take a look at how long it will take to wake up after a painless uterine curettage.

In a painless uterine curettage, the patient will regain consciousness about 5 minutes after the operation. Because the anesthetic used in painless uterine curettage is propofol, a new type of intravenous anesthetic that is metabolized very quickly in the body, the patient will regain consciousness about 5 minutes after the operation. It is also recommended to observe in the hospital for 1 hour. If there is no lower abdominal pain, little vaginal bleeding, and no dizziness, you can leave the hospital. After leaving the hospital, you must return to the hospital for a follow-up B-ultrasound examination 10 days after the operation, mainly to understand whether the uterine curettage has been completely cleaned and whether the uterine involution has returned to normal.

Painless abortion refers to an artificial abortion performed under intravenous anesthesia. It is a suction abortion with the addition of intravenous general anesthesia, and there is no pain during the operation. Painless abortion uses a new, safe and effective intravenous general anesthetic. The operator is given the drug intravenously and will fall asleep in about 30 seconds. The doctor can complete the operation in about 3 minutes without the pregnant woman being conscious. The entire operation only takes 3 to 5 minutes. The pregnant woman regained full consciousness after the operation and was able to leave the hospital on her own within 30 minutes. Although painless abortion does not cause pain, it cannot be done frequently as it is not good for the body and may cause the inability to have children again.

If there is no gas discharge within six hours after the uterine curettage, you can drink boiled water and semi-liquid food. You can eat any food after passing gas. The time it takes for patients to wake up after painless uterine curettage depends on the dose of anesthetic used during the operation. But generally speaking, the time a patient is anesthetized will not exceed two hours.
