Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Usually after abortion spotting can be seen for one week to ten days and also some amount of cramping can also be seen.
But as you are having severe pain abdomen, if you had surgical procedure like D&C better to rule out pelvic infection once.
You consult your gynecologist and go for physical examination and ultrasound to rule out the possibility of infection or retained products.
If nothing is there you can take antispasmodics for pain relief.
Take care.
