Can you sleep together after kidney stone fragmentation?

Whether or not you can have intercourse after lithotripsy mainly depends on the method of lithotripsy. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy generally does not affect coitus; ureteroscopic lithotripsy needs to try to avoid coitus before removing the stent tube; if percutaneous nephrolithotripsy is used, coitus is contraindicated for 1 month after the operation. 1. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy does not affect coitus as long as there is no obvious pain. 2. After ureteroscopic lithotripsy, the ureteral stent tube will be left in place, and the activity of coitus is more strenuous, the stent tube stimulation will induce lumbar pain, hematuria and other discomforts, so it is necessary to try to avoid coitus before the removal of the stent tube. 3. If percutaneous nephrolithotripsy is used, because it is necessary to puncture the renal cortex to establish a channel and also need to leave a stent tube, there is a risk of secondary hemorrhage induced by strenuous activities in the early postoperative period (within 1 month), so coitus is contraindicated for 1 month to ensure safety. After lithotripsy treatment, doctors will recommend drinking more water, preferably 2,000-3,000ml of plain water per day, to increase the amount of urination and promote the discharge of stones. In addition, you can also do jumping rope exercise, which is also beneficial to the discharge of stones.
