Hello,

You can go for an ultrasound abdomen to look for any retained bits of tissue in the uterus.

BetaHCG is another tool to confirm the completion of abortion. In incomplete abortion, the beta HCG will be highly elevated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
