Hello,

To confirm if abortion was complete, you are advised to get clinically examined by a gynecologist. Get per vaginal examination to rule out any remains of the aborted material or parts of placenta. hey will tell you to do a USG (uterus and fallopian tube) in case of doubt that there is some aborted material that has to be cleaned and to rule out ectopic pregnancy.

After confirmation, you will be either given conservative treatment for further management or recommended DNC if required. In case ectopic pregnancy is detected, you will be treated accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
