Do you need to fast before abortion? What should you pay attention to before abortion?

There are many female friends around us who need abortion. Modern medical conditions are very developed, which reduces many risks in surgery. However, before abortion, you still need to pay attention to many matters to ensure the normal operation of the abortion. So, do you need to fast before abortion?

Experts say that women need to fast before having an abortion. Women must not eat breakfast or drink water on the day of the operation because before the operation, the anesthesiologist will inject anesthetics into the patient, which will cause a gastrointestinal reaction in the woman. If the woman has eaten before the operation, it will lead to vomiting during the operation. The food eaten will pass through the trachea, causing the woman to suffocate and posing a direct threat to her life safety.

In addition to fasting, you should also pay attention to the following matters:

1. Avoid sexual intercourse 3 days before the operation to avoid increasing the risk of vaginitis infection. Take a shower on the day of the operation, focusing on cleaning the vulva, but be careful not to let water enter the vagina, and wear underwear and outer pants that are easy to put on and take off.

2. Those with allergic constitution or history of drug allergy, or those who need to wear an IUD after surgery, should inform the doctor in advance.

3. It is best to perform abortion within 70 days of pregnancy. Tell the doctor the possible time of conception and past pregnancy and childbirth history (including normal delivery, artificial abortion, cesarean section, etc.), and important diseases. Patients with acute hepatitis or infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis should choose an infectious disease hospital or a tuberculosis hospital.

4. Before an abortion, you should undergo a pregnancy reaction test to confirm whether you are pregnant, ensure adequate sleep, and do not be nervous or afraid.

5. Before going out, bring a few sanitary pads and some clean facial tissues. During the examination, the doctor will use disinfectant to disinfect the vulva to prevent it from being wet after the examination.

6. A gynecological examination is required before the operation to understand the position and size of the uterus, determine the month of pregnancy, and rule out reproductive deformation. B-ultrasound is required to determine the position and size of the embryo, rule out painless abortion, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole and other pathological pregnancies, improve the accuracy of the operation and reduce damage.
