What is the reason for a small amount of black blood discharge two weeks after medication abortion?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Medical abortion at 49 days of pregnancy. Two weeks after the abortion, there was still a small amount of dark blood discharge. I went to the hospital for a check-up and an ultrasound, which showed no residual tissue in the uterus. The doctor prescribed several boxes of hemostatic and anti-inflammatory medication. The next day at home, I started experiencing some abdominal bloating and pain, along with a clear, mucus-like discharge mixed with blood streaks, which had a foul odor. I took some medication for gynecological inflammation. Three days later, the abdominal bloating and pain subsided, but there was still a small amount of light red blood discharge. Could you please tell me what this situation is and what I should do? Thank you!!

Doctor's answer:

Hello! The amount of bleeding after a miscarriage should be less than the amount of menstrual bleeding, and the bleeding duration should be less than 2 weeks. The abdominal pain should generally not exceed 3 days. In your case, it might be because it wasn't completely passed or due to infection. It's best to go to the hospital for a check-up.
