The abortion process can be more painful if anesthesia is not used.
Most women undergoing an abortion will be in more pain. Abortion is an operation in the uterine cavity, which requires dilation of the uterine cavity to a level where the instrument can be inserted. The dilation of the uterine cavity and the pulling of the uterine cavity will cause nerve reflexes, resulting in pain. The operation also requires repeated use of instruments to enter the uterine cavity for scratching, the uterus will contract when stimulated, and women will also feel pain.
When women undergo abortion, some women may also experience nausea and vomiting, arrhythmia, pallor, chest tightness and other symptoms due to pain or local stimulation. Therefore, women undergoing abortion are recommended to choose painless abortion, which means that intravenous anesthesia is administered during the procedure. This can significantly reduce the pain of abortion surgery for women.
