Can ultrasound detect if an abortion has been performed?

Patient's question:

I had an abortion at the hospital before I got married, but I have never told my husband about this matter, and I don't want to tell you about him either. However, in a few days, I need to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, and an ultrasound will be used. Can an ultrasound detect that I have had an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

General surgical procedures for normal flow will usually return to normal after a period of time. This means that your endometrium and other conditions will return to normal, so everything is fine and there is no inflammation. Simply through careful ultrasound examination, it cannot be determined whether you have had an induced abortion. Therefore, you do not need to worry too much. However, if you experience inflammation or other conditions again, the doctor may ask if you have had an induced abortion.
