A member asked:

I got a medical abortion about 9 weeks ago and have now been having brown discharge for the past week. is this normal or should i be concerned ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The "brown discharge" may be withdrawal bleeding from ovulation, however, obtain a serum HCG test to see if retained tissue present, although "9 weeks" is a long duration post abortion for such to exist, especially if you are not on oral bcp's at this point. See your GYN physician for guidance.
