Brief Answer:
Sonography recommended.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I can understand your concerns

Pink orange discharge after 4 weeks of surgical termination can be normal but also can be incomplete procedure.

To confirm please get a sonography of pelvis done asap.

This will tell us exactly the cause.

Brief Answer:
Wait for 5 days

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX,

I will then advise you to wait and observe for 4-5 days more.

If it clears away then nothing to do.

If it does not then we can further investigate.

Brief Answer:
Get a uterus sonography

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX,

It is very difficult to tell what exactly is going on unless you get a sonography of uterus done.

That will confirm whether its an incomplete termination or not.
