How long does it take for the stomach to return to normal after a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

My girlfriend has now been on her period for five days. I see her stomach is still bulging, and she still looks pregnant when wearing leather pants. This makes me very anxious. How long does it take for the stomach to return to normal after a miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

It takes about a month to fully recover after a miscarriage. One month after a miscarriage, menstruation should return. The uterus generally needs about seven weeks to recover completely. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited for one month after a miscarriage. Of course, if you eat too much during this period, you may also gain weight, causing your abdomen to enlarge. Therefore, during this time, you should take Amoxicillin capsules and Motherwort. In terms of diet, avoid extremely cold and spicy foods, and do not drink beer. Enhance your nutrition, and the uterus will naturally tighten, and your abdomen will shrink.
