After an abortion, I had my period about twenty days later and then experienced brown discharge again.

Patient's question:

After an abortion, I had my period about twenty days later, and then I had brown discharge with a sour odor. What could be the reason? There is no itching or abdominal pain.

Doctor's answer:

Recurrent minor bleeding due to incomplete inflammation resolution after the flow.
There is a slight amount of light brown discharge, and sometimes lower right abdominal pain—these are all signs of inflammation.
It is recommended to receive intravenous antibiotics for three to five days. The treatment is more effective during the menstrual period. It is essential to treat the inflammation thoroughly, otherwise it may affect future fertility.
