Hello,
Post miscarriage your ultrasound shows fluid collection and retained products. No fibroid. You are advised to get clinically examined by a Gynae and get a Dilation and curettage (D&C) done. The retained products of the conception after miscarriage need to be removed or it will cause infection & fever along with other complications like heavy bleeding if it remains there in the uterus after a miscarriage or abortion.
After the procedure you may experience mild cramping and spotting or light bleeding. You can take ibuprofen (Advil) , one stat when needed to get relieve from pain. You can resume your activities in a day or two.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
