What preparations should be done before abortion surgery

If a woman finds herself pregnant but does not want to have a child, she should try to have an abortion within 10 weeks to avoid the increased risk of complications from surgery due to the increased pregnancy. So, what preparations should be made before an abortion?

1. Ultrasound examination

Before preparing for an abortion, you need to undergo a B-ultrasound examination to determine the duration of pregnancy and whether there are any signs of discomfort for surgery, which will increase the safety of the surgery. It should be noted that the bladder needs to be filled before the B-ultrasound examination.

2. Stop having sex

Women should avoid sexual intercourse one week before abortion to avoid increasing the risk of vaginitis infection.

3. Keep warm

Before preparing for an abortion, women should take measures to keep warm to prevent catching a chill or cold. If the body temperature is measured twice before the operation and both exceed 37.5℃, the operation should be canceled immediately to avoid unnecessary physical damage.

4. Dietary restrictions

On the day of abortion, diet should be restricted as much as possible. If the patient is in poor physical condition, a small amount of sugar water can be given, but no water or food should be consumed within 4 hours before the operation. Otherwise, during the operation, the body may have certain gastrointestinal reactions after anesthesia and vomiting may occur. If there is food in the stomach of women, it is easy for the food to be inhaled into the trachea, causing suffocation and other serious consequences.

5. Body Cleansing

One day before the abortion, you should clean your whole body, change into clean clothes, and try to choose underwear and trousers that are easy to put on and take off. If you are weak after the operation, you can wear them easily.
