How soon can you have sex after percutaneous nephrolithotomy?

After percutaneous nephrolithotomy, sex is usually not allowed until after one month, depending on the recovery. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure applicable to the treatment of kidney stones. The procedure requires the establishment of a skin-to-kidney channel in the waist, and the kidney stones are broken and removed by tools, which will cause certain damage to the kidneys, and sexual life cannot be resumed immediately after the procedure. Generally, about one month after the percutaneous nephrolithotomy, the body functions will be recovered gradually, and you can have sex moderately, but it depends on the patient’s recovery. Some patients may be due to larger stones, more serious damage when taking surgical treatment, postoperative recovery is slow, and the time for resuming sexual life should be extended. After percutaneous nephrolithotomy, you should follow the doctor’s instructions for postoperative care and go to the hospital for regular checkups.
