Painless abortion has become the first choice for many women to undergo abortion. This is because painless abortion can alleviate the pain on the body during the abortion process. However, many women do not pay attention to the precautions before and after painless abortion. If not done properly, it may affect the surgical process or postoperative recovery. Some women have asked, can water be consumed during painless abortion?
In fact, it is generally recommended to fast for 8 hours before undergoing painless abortion, including not drinking water. This is because the most important preoperative preparation before painless abortion is the preparation of the gastrointestinal tract. The main purpose of fasting is to avoid vomiting reactions after anesthesia or during surgery, which may cause suffocation or aspiration pneumonia, and pose great harm to the body.
It should be noted that this vomiting reaction is most likely to occur during the anesthesia process, especially during tracheal intubation or extubation, as the protective reflex of the human body gradually weakens after injection of anesthetic drugs. If there is no fasting or excessive drinking before surgery, food and water may not be fully digested in the stomach and enter the intestines, which may cause vomiting and affect the normal progress of the surgery, and may also cause very serious complications. Therefore, women must follow the doctor's advice to avoid eating before surgery.
