The effects of the surgery are almost instantaneous, and you can go back to your daily activities within a couple of days. However, complete internal recovery may take 6-8 weeks. You can promote healing by following a few simple tips:
Do not perform any strenuous exercises or lift heavy weights till you have received approval from your doctor
Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day
Maintain a healthy fibre-rich diet
Avoid all intercourse, especially anal sex, for at least 4-6 weeks
Do not go for long drives without approval from your doctor
