How long is the typical treatment + recovery timeline?

For DVIU, the procedure is outpatient or requires a 1-day hospital stay, with recovery taking 1–2 weeks. For urethroplasty, hospitalization is typically 3–5 days, followed by 4–6 weeks of catheter use and limited activity. Full recovery and return to normal activities, including work, usually takes 6–8 weeks for urethroplasty. Patients are advised to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for at least 6 weeks post-surgery.
