hi,
after abortion some amount of spotting can be seen up to 1 to 2 weeks, but continuous spotting up to 4 weeks with pain abdomen is some what abnormal,
so you better consult gynecologist and undergo physical examination and ultrasound examination to rule out the possibility of retained products and any infection,
if products are found you may need to go for D&C, antibiotics for infection, if everything is normal you can take tablets to stop the bleeding.
take care.
