Is a post-abortion ultrasound normal?

Patient's question:

I got pregnant unexpectedly and had an abortion surgery at 39 days. The doctor told me to come back for a follow-up ultrasound after one month. I went for the follow-up on the third day after my second period. The detailed examination results showed: normal uterine cross-section shape and size, uniform muscle layer echoes, and no obvious abnormalities in the bilateral vicinity. Hello, is this result normal?

Doctor's answer:

This careful examination result is normal. After a miscarriage, it is generally necessary to have a gynecological ultrasound around two weeks to mainly determine if there are any residual blood clots in the uterus. If there are residual blood clots, it is usually noted on the ultrasound report that there will be some abnormal echoes in the uterine cavity. If the uterus is normal and there are no such abnormal echoes, it proves that it has been cleaned properly, and it will not interfere with your health.
