I think it is standard to not lift heavy objects after having had any procedure, though I don’t recall specifically being told that following a TURBT. I was definitely told that after my radical cystectomy, however, as that is major surgery. Best to follow your doctor’s instructions.
My instructions re sexual activity state: “Remind patient and their partner to use birth control while being treated with mitomycin as the drug can damage sperm and harm the baby if used during pregnancy.” There is no other instruction on the paper given to me. Again, it would be worth having a discussion with your doctor about this.
