After undergoing a Transobturator Tape (TOT) procedure, what is the typical recovery timeline, including how long it takes for patients to resume normal daily activities, work, exercise, and sexual activity, and what factors can influence this recovery period?

I had a friend who went through a TOT procedure, and honestly, the recovery was quicker than they expected. They were able to handle light chores in just a few days and went back to work in about 10 days, but held off on exercise.
