Local anesthesia abortion is definitely painful, and it is very difficult to meet patients who are completely painless in clinical practice. Some people have a high tolerance for pain and are able to hold on to it completely without any particular discomfort, but such people are very few. The vast majority of people will be a little bit painful during the whole operation, because the cervix needs to be dilated during the abortion procedure, and there will definitely be some pain during the dilatation. Nowadays, the economy is developing faster and patients are demanding more and more comfort and want to complete the whole procedure completely and comfortably, and having an abortion under local anesthesia will definitely not meet the expectations. This part of the patients can first consider having a painless abortion, where the whole process is painless, but there is still a possibility of pain afterwards. Twenty years ago almost all abortions were done under local anesthesia, with the gynecologist administering anesthesia and subsequently completing the abortion. In this sense, most patients at that time were able to hold up well. With the current options available, most will choose a painless abortion. Some will be apprehensive about the general anesthetic medication and will have no problem wanting to have an abortion under local anesthesia. The easiest way to do this is to lower your expectations, which may still be a little painful, and if you stick with it, you will be able to complete the procedure very well. If you have had a similar experience before and find it unbearable under local anesthesia, patients are advised to consider painless abortion.
