Can an ultrasound determine if a miscarriage is complete?

Patient's question:

Due to personal health reasons, I might need to have an abortion. Currently, I am resting at home. The doctor has told me a lot. Can you please tell me if an ultrasound is required to determine if the abortion is complete?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the gestational sac should have been expelled. If the bleeding stops at this point, it is necessary to have a timely ultrasound examination to determine if the miscarriage is complete. This requires careful examination to prevent it from being retained in the uterine cavity for a long time, which may lead to other abnormalities and affect recovery.
It is recommended that you rest and avoid cold exposure for more than half a month after this. Increase your nutrition, avoid sexual intercourse and (bānyù - hot tubs or baths), and avoid contact with extremely cold irritants. As the patient faces gynecological issues, we should actively conduct examinations and treatments. Do not hesitate to seek medical attention. If gynecological conditions do not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
