What are the symptoms of unclean surgery?

Patient's question:

Because of an accidental pregnancy, I just had an abortion surgery last month and I'm very worried that it wasn't done cleanly. I want to ask what are the symptoms of an incomplete abortion surgery?

Doctor's answer:

If you get pregnant unexpectedly and do not want to have the child, you can undergo an abortion procedure. If the abortion is not performed cleanly, the main issue is usually residual blood remaining in the uterus, occurring intermittently. Other symptoms are not very obvious, and only an ultrasound of the uterine appendages can clearly determine this. It is generally recommended to have a follow-up ultrasound two weeks after the abortion to check for any residual conditions. Additionally, after the abortion, it is important to ensure that the gestational sac has completely separated.
