A member asked:

Post op vaginal rectocele one week ago. i feel good and want to get back to gym for zumba, weight lifting (5-8) pound dumb bells, yoga ect. when can i?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wait 6 wks: With my patients i restrict them to walking and light arm weights for 6 weeks. It is important to let the vaginal incision heal really well. However check with your doctor regarding you specifically.
