How long after flexible ureteroscopy for stone removal can sexual intercourse resume?

Sexual intercourse is typically permitted about one week after flexible ureteroscopy for stone removal; however, the exact timing depends on individual recovery. Flexible ureteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure in which a flexible ureteroscope is inserted retrograde through the urethra to fragment and remove urinary stones. If postoperative recovery is rapid and overall physical condition is good, normal sexual activity may resume around one week after surgery. Nevertheless, during intercourse, movements should be gentle—strenuous activity must be avoided.
