I'm curious about the recovery process after circumcision surgery. How long should I plan to rest, and when can I start activities like riding a bike or going back to the office?

After circumcision surgery, it is recommended to take at least 1-2 days of rest to allow for initial healing. It is advisable to avoid driving a bike for at least 1-2 weeks to prevent any discomfort or complications. Returning to office work can typically be done after 3-4 days, depending on individual healing and comfort levels. Remember to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your healthcare provider for optimal recovery.

I was diagnosed with a 5 mm stone in my urinary bladder about a week ago, and my doctor told me to take veltam 0.4. The stone passed the very next day, and now, five days later, the ultrasound showed no signs of any abnormality or stone. I can't seem to reach my doctor at the moment, so I'm wondering if it's okay for me to stop taking the medicine now. What do you think?

As the size of the stone is large thats the appropriate procedure,follow your doctors advice
