Can I eat before having an abortion? No, why?

Because painless abortion surgery is a procedure performed through intravenous general anesthesia. Although the anesthesia time for the operation is very short, only 5 to 15 minutes, they lose consciousness while in the anesthetic sleep state, that is, in the general anesthesia state. At this time, the muscles of the whole body are in a relaxed state, the effective throat swallowing reflex will be inhibited, and the food previously eaten in the stomach will flow back into the mouth. If there is vomitus that is not swallowed in time, it will choke into the respiratory tract and cause aspiration pneumonia, and even block the respiratory tract, leading to anesthesia accidents such as breath holding, cyanosis, and suffocation.

So, can you eat before having an abortion? No, you are not allowed to eat six hours before the operation, otherwise it may cause serious consequences. But it does not mean you cannot eat anything at all. You can eat a little white porridge before the operation. You can prepare some ginseng and soak it in boiled water in a thermos before the operation, which you can drink immediately after the operation.
