3) There are no serious complications
4)Your health will become absolutely normal and you can carry out your routine activities like a normal individual.
5)It takes 4-6 weeks for complete recovery.
6)You can consult Urologist in your area .Now a days most of the qualified Urologist are well trained to do these surgeries
