Should abortion be treated with anesthesia or not1

  If anesthesia is not used for induced abortion, it is generally tolerable and painless abortion can be chosen. Pay attention to rest and warmth, avoid fatigue, strengthen nutrition, and the best time to have an abortion is around 50 days after amenorrhea, when there is a gestational sac in the uterine cavity monitored by ultrasound.

  After surgery, it is necessary to adjust the diet and daily routine, with a light diet as the main focus, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods, adjusting the daily routine, avoiding sexual activity in the short term, and ensuring local hygiene, which is helpful for postoperative recovery. Artificial abortion is divided into ordinary artificial abortion and painless artificial abortion. Ordinary artificial abortion usually uses local anesthesia at most, but it is generally not necessary.

  Anesthetics are divided into general anesthetics (also known as intravenous and inhaled general anesthetics) and local anesthetics. Local anesthetics are used for cesarean section, while ultra short acting intravenous general anesthetics are used for abortion. The action time and half-life of intravenous general anesthetics are also becoming shorter and shorter. (For patients with normal liver and kidney function) Most of them will wake up within half an hour after surgery, and after five half lives (at most 3-4 hours), the anesthetics will be completely metabolized. For those with liver and kidney dysfunction, this time may be longer, but it can definitely be restored.
