If women are unable to give birth to their babies after an unexpected pregnancy, they can only resort to abortion surgery. For current medical conditions, abortion is considered a relatively minor surgery, but women still need to make corresponding preparations before undergoing abortion surgery. Why is it necessary to fast and avoid drinking water 6-8 hours before the abortion surgery?
Doctors require women to abstain from food and water before abortion surgery mainly because the surgery requires the injection of anesthetics. After the anesthetics enter the body, there may be some side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, and so on. If you eat too much food before surgery, you may choke in the trachea when vomiting, which may lead to suffocation.
Fasting and water restriction before abortion surgery is necessary to ensure the smooth progress of the surgery and avoid suffocation in women. Before undergoing an abortion, women not only need to fast and avoid water, but also need to undergo a detailed physical examination to ensure their health before the surgery can be performed. Also, pay attention to relaxing yourself and not putting too much psychological pressure on yourself.
In general, fasting and water restriction before abortion surgery are mainly due to the problem of vomiting in women after injecting anesthetics. If there is food in the stomach, it is easy to choke and cause serious suffocation problems. Women should pay attention to rest more after abortion surgery, avoid staying up late, and maintain a healthy diet.
