It seems like doctors' recommendations are all over the board. I had aquablation in March 2024. My doctor told me to abstain from working out or sex for 10-14 days, (I'm 64 and pretty athletic, but I'm not sure if that had any baring into his recommendation.
Honestly, I felt like I could start lifting weights after four or five days but I held off for 2 1/2 weeks just to be sure. I did lots of walking in the meantime just to keep sane and get some exercise. I didn't last as long without having sex, and in retrospect it probably would have been better to hold off longer than I did (I still had a decent amount of blood in my urine for almost a month after the procedure.)
I think your own body will tell you what it is capable about, but it's better to be more cautious than not. Good luck!
