For that reason, we have created a number of different options for you. Rest assured that, whatever your choice, we will be doing all we can to alleviate both your pain and your fears.
Local anesthesia numbs just the area where the surgery is taking place.
That means that your cervix will be anesthetized, but that, because you will be awake, you will likely still feel cramps. With IV sedation , you will be in a twilight sleep. That means that you will most likely have no memory of any discomfort you may have, and, if you do have any, it will be very minimal. The newest pain control option available for you is alternative pain management . We are very excited about this new choice for women who don't like the possible aftereffects of IV sedation, yet are afraid to have an abortion without some additional pain control.
