Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

Pregnancy hormone (beta-hCG) may persist for 6 to 12 weeks following Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP).

I suggest you to await another 4 weeks to get NORMAL test result. You should repeat the test at 2 weeks interval and monitor the beta-HCG value (gradually decreasing pattern).

As your last 2 ultrasound scans were NORMAL, I can assume that there was NO retained bits or placental tissue. Pelvic or vaginal infection should be ruled out.

You should consult with your treating doctor for pelvic examination and proper management of the case.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and maintain genital hygiene properly.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for follow up query.

Smelly brown discharge may be due to pelvic/ vaginal infection or old endometrial tissue. I suggest to undergo one swab culture test to rule out possible infection.

You may require one course of antibiotic treatment according to test result. Kindly, consult with your doctor regarding this.

Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, close the discussion.

All the best and good luck.
