Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / September 2006Normal recovery time from PVP
How soon after a PVP would a normal patient be well enough to book an economy return flight across the Atlantic. > How soon after a PVP would a normal patient be well enough to book an > economy return flight across the Atlantic. I would have been ready to travel in an hour. Better wait about three days I would say. Why? Where are you planning on going for treatment? Looks to me like UK has some of the best doctors and prices. Everyone has their own opinion about making a trip across the Atlantic after a PVP. In my case, I would not have wanted to fly across the Atlantic until 7 days had passed. I was on Pyridium and Bactrim DS for 5-7 days. I had to cath myself x3 during the first 24 hrs. One of my friends who had PVP had extensive bleeding (uncommon) and ended up in the ER having a cath put in for a week. Another opinion. > How soon after a PVP would a normal patient be well enough to book an > economy return flight across the Atlantic. > How soon after a PVP would a normal patient be well enough to book an > economy return flight across the Atlantic. This is a reasonable question. But somehow there is an assumption around that PVP isn't surgery. It is, and should be treated as such.

Someone took a train from London to Northern Scotland the day after PVP. >> How soon after a PVP would a normal patient be well enough to book an >> economy return flight across the Atlantic. >> > Someone took a train from London to Northern Scotland the day after PVP. I seem to remember that Patrick our original PVP poster flew from the U.S. to Japan quite soon after his procedure.Forlorn Hope did a flight from London to the North of England the day after his PVP. Derek. Travelling right after a PVP... The biggest problem will probably be lugging your bags. I did a 3 hr trip about 2 wks out. Luggage. Not supposed to do that! There was pink urine again for about 4 days. A minor setback. Noticed one of the replies mentioned self cathing. My guy put in a Foley for the first 24 hours which was no problem at all. I wonder if this is a good practice in that it eliminates such problems?

Actually getting there is another story. A full recovery from PVP (and most prostate surgery) can take up to 3 months. All depends on a variety of factors..... I suppose if you don't mind risking catheterization, painful, frequent urinations at airports, and at 35,000 feet ....... then hop on board!
