How to understand an ultrasound report after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

I just had a medication abortion, and then I had an ultrasound. Hello, how can I understand the ultrasound report after a medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

After taking medication for an abortion, you need to go to the hospital for an ultrasound after a week to carefully observe the condition of the uterine cavity and how the fetus has been completely expelled. The doctor will give you an ultrasound report. At the end of the report, there will be a confirmed diagnosis. You don't need to overthink it, just look at the results. If the result shows that it hasn't been completely expelled and there are residual tissues, then the next step is to perform a uterine aspiration procedure.
