Surgical abortion: A surgical abortion means that the MD who performed the procedure removed the gestational material and therefore only the residual amount of bleeding seen is your brown discharge. The uterine cramping is a result of the uterus "shrinking"(involution) back to its' pre-pregnancy size.
