Diagnostic dilemma in post-abortion intrauterine retention: endometrial polyps mimicking retained products of conception
Endometrial polyps should be considered in stable women after abortion with intrauterine retention present with low blood flow on doppler, low β-hCG levels, and prolonged retention, especially in women with lower gravidity. Hysteroscopy is recommended for accurate diagnosis and proper management, preventing unnecessary treatment for presumed retained products of conception.
