When Is Alcohol Consumption Safe After A Pyeloplasty Surgery On Kidney?
Hello, I recently had a pyeloplasty surgery on my left kidney. This occurred three weeks ago. I wanted to know when it is appropriate to be able to consume alcoholic beverages. Will this affect my recovery? Also is it okay to continue in my mechanic field now?

Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, let me assure you, that it's safe to have alcohol now.
But, restrict your weight lifting work as a mechanic, for 6 weeks after surgery.
Have an ultrasound abdomen/ CT- I.VU, after 6 weeks of surgery.
Hope your doubts are cleared.
You're welcome to contact me here by name, with the reports, for an expert opinion.
Wish you well.
