Patient's question:
I just had the triple screen done. I had blood drawn and a urine test.Can I know if I've had an abortion before? Will I need a pelvic exam?
I had bacterial vaginosis and cervical inflammation during my last abortion.
Will it affect the fetus? Will the doctor do another check?
Can the cervical exam reveal if I've had an abortion?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, a general gynecologist can usually determine if there has been a history of miscarriage through the condition of the vagina and cervix.Advice: Under normal circumstances, women who have never given birth have an oval-shaped cervix, while women who have given birth, including those who have had miscarriages, have a cervix that is shaped like a "1" or "I."
