Generally speaking, you can have sex 2 months after nephrectomy surgery, but it varies according to individual’s recovery. There are two main types of nephrectomy surgery: preserved renal unit surgery and radical nephrectomy. Preserved renal unit surgery is less traumatic and the recovery after surgery is relatively faster, and you can have sex around 1 month after surgery. For those who choose radical nephrectomy, it takes longer time to recover after surgery. However, there are many other factors that will affect the postoperative recovery, such as the severity of the disease and the physical condition of the patient. For those who are in serious condition and have poor physical condition, it will take longer time for the body to recover after the operation before they can have sexual life. After kidney cancer surgery, we should have regular checkups and consult professional doctors to see whether we can have sex after the recovery of body functions.
