When will abortion symptoms and foul discharge subside?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I was in the last four and a half weeks of my pregnancy. I am using an MTP kit. It took between 12 to 14 days. My menstrual cycles last about 10 days. I was given pain medications and antibiotics. After 12 to 14 days, I took the Chromo stat tablet. My periods started to slow down and ultimately stopped.

However, it has not yet been entirely halted. I am experiencing some issues, such as blood clots in the flow, and red and white mixed spotting with an unpleasant odor. Please tell me how to handle these issues?
