Why is painless abortion done under general anesthesia?

The reason why painless abortion requires general anesthesia is that this anesthesia can not only relieve the pain of women's bodies, but also allow doctors to concentrate on performing the operation without interference.

1. Why is painless abortion performed under general anesthesia?

Painless abortion surgery is far less harmful to women's bodies than traditional abortion surgery. The reason why painless abortion surgery uses general anesthesia is mainly because the anesthesia effect is better. General anesthesia can not only relieve women's physical pain, but also greatly reduce the patient's fear.

Most importantly, under general anesthesia, pregnant women can be in a deep sleep state and their whole body can relax. This makes it easier for doctors to perform surgery without interference. If local anesthesia is chosen, some pregnant women may tremble or groan due to extreme fear or physical pain, which often affects the doctor's surgical state to a certain extent.

General anesthesia is usually given by intravenous injection of propofol. The advantage of this general anesthesia method is that the effect is very fast, the general anesthesia effect during the operation is also very good, and the patient can wake up quickly after the operation. However, after the effect is over, the patient's body may have slight pain, but this is a normal phenomenon.
