I have kidney stones and have undergone flexible ureteroscopy. How long after flexible ureteroscopy for kidney stones can I resume sexual activity?
The recovery time after flexible ureteroscopy for kidney stones—and whether sexual activity can be resumed—primarily depends on the patient’s individual condition, the surgical approach, and postoperative recovery. Generally, if the surgery proceeds smoothly and recovery is uneventful, patients may gradually resume appropriate sexual activity approximately one month after the procedure.
After surgery, patients typically require time to regain physical strength and ensure complete wound healing. It is essential to follow the physician’s instructions, maintain good personal hygiene to prevent infection, and attend scheduled follow-up appointments.
