Is painless abortion done with full or partial anesthesia?

In fact, if a man and a woman are not sure whether they want to have a child, they should take appropriate contraceptive measures to effectively prevent unwanted pregnancy. After an unexpected pregnancy occurs, many women choose to have an abortion, killing the baby in the womb. However, abortion can cause great damage to a woman's uterus, and many women may wonder whether painless abortion is performed under full anesthesia or partial anesthesia?

Painless abortion is a form of general anesthesia, but unlike traditional general anesthesia, it does not require as much medication. It just uses a certain dose of analgesics to relieve the patient's pain. It belongs to basic anesthesia, or general anesthesia without intubation. Most patients will not be anesthetized during painless surgery. Instead, they will be anesthetized through drug infusion to make the patient fall asleep and relieve pain. They can also wake up quickly after the operation, which is safer. If a painless procedure is required, it is recommended that you avoid eating and drinking for at least 8 hours.

The harms of painless abortion to women are as follows:

1. During the painless abortion operation, the negative pressure in the uterine cavity may drop suddenly when the gestational sac is sucked out. Excessive pressure may cause endometriosis and cervical adhesion, leading to infertility. If anesthetic drugs are used during painless abortion surgery, although it relieves the patient's physical pain, it also brings many complications. Some patients will experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing and suffocation during anesthesia.

2. After the painless abortion surgery, anesthetic drugs may remain in the patient's body. The patient may experience symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue. Some may also have systemic symptoms such as abdominal pain. Some patients with allergic constitutions are more likely to have anesthetic reactions.

3. The harm of painless abortion is also reflected in the post-operative care of painless abortion. Patients often experience irregular menstruation or other uterine inflammation infections. They need a long period of recovery and treatment after surgery, which has a certain impact on the patient's work and life. Especially if an unexpected pregnancy occurs and the best treatment time for painless abortion is missed, it must be resolved through induced labor, which causes more serious harm to the female body. Moreover, too many painless abortions can lead to habitual miscarriage.
