Is abortion painful? It depends on the specific situation

With the progress of society and the development of medicine, abortion has become more and more common. Early screening can check whether the fetus is healthy. If the fetus is unhealthy or the mother is not suitable for pregnancy, the doctor will recommend abortion after pregnancy. Many women with unexpected pregnancies will choose abortion. Many female friends don’t know much about the specific situation of abortion, especially young women who are mostly concerned about whether abortion is painful. Today we will talk about whether abortion is painful?

According to the method of abortion, there are generally natural abortion, medical abortion and surgical abortion.
1. Spontaneous abortion. This method is abortion without any signs. In many cases, the pregnant woman herself does not even know it, so there is no pain.

2. Medical abortion. Since medical abortion requires taking medicine for two or three consecutive days, the medicine can cause uterine contraction, so there may be lower abdominal pain and a feeling of falling in the abdomen, just like our usual dysmenorrhea. The fetal sac will be expelled from the body in a few hours. The whole process does not last too long and is not very painful. Of course, some may be different due to individual differences, but generally speaking, it is still within the tolerable range.

3. Surgical abortion. Nowadays, surgical abortion is painless, and is usually performed under intravenous anesthesia. It is based on suction abortion surgery, plus intravenous general anesthesia. The surgeon injects drugs intravenously, and the surgeon falls asleep in less than a minute. The operation is performed without the pregnant woman's awareness. There will be no pain during the operation. Another situation is that the pregnant woman has to undergo a surgical abortion due to physical illness, and it is not suitable for anesthetics. In this case, there will be some slight discomfort.
In summary, abortion is not that painful. What deserves attention is that no matter what the cause of abortion is, it should be avoided as much as possible, and no matter which method is used, it must be selected in a regular hospital.
