Q: how long after orchiectomy can you lift heavy items again?

: Orchiectomy surgery is typically healed within 14 days. The post surgical recomendation for a non complicated orchiectomy states that there should be no lifting or bearing down (such as with constipation) for at least that amount of time in order to allow full and complete healing and prevent hernias.
