Sexual intercourse can usually be attempted after 1 week after ureteral stone removal.
Patients with ureteral stones usually have a double J-tube placed during surgery, which is a stent tube mainly used to stay in the ureter to support the ureter and drain the urine.
Patients are advised to try to have sex 1 week after the tube is removed because there may be damage to the urethral mucosa after the tube is removed, and if you have sex too soon, it is easy to cause bacteria and viruses to enter the urethra, which can cause pathogens to become infected, prompting urethritis, cystitis, and other infections of the genitourinary system to occur. After a week, you can start to try to have sex, and if there are uncomfortable symptoms, you should stop trying.
It is recommended that ureteral stone patients can eat high vitamin, nutrient-rich, easy to digest food on a daily basis, usually drink a lot of water, should avoid high oxalate, high purine diet.
Ureteral stone patients also need to be closely observed after the extraction of the tube for any discomfort symptoms, if the body appears abnormal, should be timely follow-up, inform the doctor to avoid adverse effects.
