Hello dear
Understand your concern
HCG level of 296 is high value. This contraction is seen in pregnancy of 3-5 weeks.You have some tissue inside called retention product or incomplete abortion that is the reason for high HCG level. Choriocarcinoma also be rule out.
Incomplete abortion should be treated by surgical process like D & C or suction evacuation.
Normally after 14 days of abortion USG should be done to confirm incomplete abortion. I think you do not have proper guidance regarding follow up. IF you did follow up it was be treated earlier.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
