Post TURP recovery

2018-01-15 10:40:00
I'm a 43 year old man and I had a TURP 4 weeks ago, everything seems to be ok apart from occasional shows of blood in the urine and a slightly overactive bladder which I'm told is completely normal at this stage. However I've been reading about the dangers of lifting too much post op and it's made me worry because 2 weeks after surgery I went a bit mad one day and moved some furniture about, I feel ok but could I have hindered my recovery? Why avoid heavy lifting? Please put my mind at rest.
