The recovery is 24 hours. You can go back to work after 24 hours unless your healthcare provider tells you otherwise. Also, you can return to all your normal activities after two to three days after the procedure. Thank you.
Take it easy. Keep an eye on your incision. Take Tylenol for pain if needed. Avoid aspirin and NSAIDs.

Just lie down for 24 hours, even lunch and dinner in bed. Only get up to use the bathroom. Call your doctor if you have any fever or blood in the urine.
