Recently, CCTV once again reported on the current situation of painless abortion, which is of great concern to society, and interviewed industry experts in the program. In response to the false propaganda of some hospitals, Experts gave direct criticism and at the same time conveyed common sense education on painless abortion in a scientific manner, triggering renewed public attention.

“Not everyone is suitable for painless abortion”

From a technical point of view, it can be said that the invention of painless abortion is a major advancement in medical technology. It can significantly reduce the physical pain and inner fear of women undergoing abortion, and embodies a more humane service, which is undoubtedly a blessing for the recipients. But is painless abortion a simple minor surgery suitable for everyone? Experts gave a negative answer.

Experts said that painless abortion is originally an advancement of science and technology and reflects the care for women. However, any medical technology itself cannot be perfect, and there must be advantages and disadvantages. Compared with ordinary abortion surgery, the biggest advantage of painless abortion is that the recipient does not feel pain, thereby reducing the occurrence of cardiocerebral syndrome in ordinary abortion. However, at the same time, painless abortion increases the risk of anesthesia due to the addition of anesthesia, such as suppression of heart and lung function, or even failure and death; it also increases the risk of intraoperative bleeding and uterine damage. In particular, after anesthesia is given, the woman undergoing abortion loses consciousness, and if there is a problem during the operation, the recipient will not respond. In this sense, painless abortion has greater health risks than ordinary abortion surgery. And painless abortion can also lead to secondary infertility and infertility.

Painless abortion also has its applicability. Experts said that in addition to the appropriate gestational age, that is, 6-8 weeks of pregnancy, generally no more than 12 weeks, there must be no heart and lung diseases such as arrhythmia, asthma, etc. The difficulty of surgery will also be greatly increased for patients with expired abortions and incomplete abortions. Not everyone can have a painless abortion at will. Don’t choose an abortion method that is not suitable for you just to relieve the temporary pain.

Painless abortion is also "harmful"

In response to the question of whether painless abortion is harmful to the body, experts said that it is true that painless abortion is painless, but the harm still exists, unlike other All methods of abortion will cause varying degrees of harm to the body. At the same time, because of the addition of anesthesia, the risk of anesthesia accidents to the recipient increases.

It is understood that painless abortion brings the most direct physical harm to the recipient, such as intraoperative complications, short-term complications after the operation, and long-term complications, etc., which are harmful to the body. and subsequent pregnancies will be affected. At the same time, the psychological harm caused by painless abortion to the recipient is hidden and lingering. As age, knowledge, and experience increase, young women may become "sexually repressed" due to fear of another pregnancy or miscarriage, coupled with aversion to the uncooperative sexual partner, or may suffer from lifelong regrets about being a mother due to secondary infertility. Helpless, depression occurs.

Experts highlighted that an ideal painless abortion requires fast onset of anesthetic drugs, fast metabolism, complete awakening, definite analgesic effect, no intraoperative memory, few side effects, simple operation, safety and effectiveness. . Although the various current anesthetics relatively meet the above requirements, none of them can fully reach the ideal state. Clinically, adverse reactions to anesthesia such as respiratory depression, circulatory depression, and drug allergy still occur. In addition, after general anesthesia, the texture of the uterus becomes softer, and the doctor's touch will not be as good as without anesthesia. Therefore, the risk of injury and uterine perforation is relatively increased.

Experts remind young women that it is important to understand common sense about health care. If you have an unexpected pregnancy, you must choose an abortion method that suits you. To treat painless abortion, we need to have a comprehensive and correct understanding. "Painless" does not mean "harmless", and painless abortion is not suitable for everyone.
