Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / November 2004PVP Recovery time
I'm going to have a PVP on the 24th. How long before I will be able to resume walking? How long before I will be able to lift weights? > X-No-archive: yes > > I'm going to have a PVP on the 24th. How long before I will be able to > resume walking? How long before I will be able to lift weights? Since you will walk out of the hospital 4 hours later .......walking is immediate Lifting weights must be restricted to after 21 days Dr. Te said - for me - 8 wks for lifting as well as for sex - ask your own Dr. Jim W. >> X-No-archive: yes >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Lifting weights must be restricted to after 21 days The problem with PVP is that after a few days you might feel well enough to do almost anything. This is what has gotten a few people into trouble. It's important not to over do it for the first few weeks. I would ask you doctor. Personally I wouldn't wait 8 weeks for sex. That's way too long. I was able to have sex after a couple of weeks. size of prostate is a consideration. mine was 105. i rushed things much to my dismay. invasiveness of surgery must be considered, as well as age when determining recovery time. > X-No-archive: yes > > I'm going to have a PVP on the 24th.
