What should be checked during a gynecological examination after taking medication for an abortion?

Patient's question:

A while ago, I did a medication abortion at home by myself. It has been over a month since the medication abortion, and now I want to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination. However, I don't know what specific tests to undergo. I would like to understand this from the internet first, and I would like the doctor to tell me what tests should be carefully checked after a medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

The follow-up check after medication abortion often includes a detailed gynecological ultrasound examination to help identify any foreign bodies in the uterine cavity or the presence of gynecological inflammation. If residual miscarriage is detected, a secondary uterine evacuation procedure should be immediately performed. If gynecological inflammation is found, timely symptomatic treatment should be administered to prevent the development of chronic pelvic inflammation. Hormone levels can also be measured if necessary. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to rest after an abortion and avoid consuming cold foods.
