Can a physical examination reveal if an abortion has been performed?

Patient's question:

The company recommends that everyone undergo a health check-up. Those with a history of miscarriage are not eligible. Can the health check-up detect a history of miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if there is no residual after a miscarriage, it is undetectable through a thorough examination. Generally, a miscarriage can cause damage to both the body and the endometrium. With a history of miscarriage, it is impossible to predict through gynecological examinations or ultrasound. An induced abortion does not leave obvious scars or surgical marks. Some may also conduct blood tests, such as liver function tests, the four items for eugenics, etc., but these cannot detect whether a miscarriage has occurred, nor can they reveal multiple instances of miscarriage through examination.
