Detailed Answer:

Hi,

It is common to bleed for about 1 to 2 weeks post abortion and in some instances spotting may occur even until the next period which usually occurs around 4 to 8 weeks post abortion. Since you mention lower abdomen pain I would recommend a USG to rule out any residual tissues left post abortion.

Hope I have clarified your query.
