The bladder is an expert at self-healing. When the organ is injured by infection or injury, it may heal fast by utilizing specialized cells in its lining to rebuild tissue and restore a barrier against dangerous elements contained in urine. The process of regeneration allows the bladder to recover from damage caused by recurrent incidents over a long period of time. Healing after surgery requires only that you be patient. After surgery, it is normal for the body to try to protect itself by slowing down the healing process. This is why you should not rush your recovery. Lifting weights, doing core exercises, and being active can help speed up your recovery and get you back on your feet sooner.
