Does ureteral dilation surgery affect sexual function?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The ureteral dilation surgery will not affect sexual function. You need the dilation surgery because of problems with your urinary tract. People with this condition are already prone to difficulties and urinary tract infections. Urinary tract infections can affect sexual function. If it were not severe, the doctor would not recommend surgery. This is a minor procedure, usually done on an outpatient basis. The symptoms you mentioned are unrelated to the surgery. I believe it is more likely caused by psychological factors, with the primary factor being related to your urinary tract. Active treatment should lead to improvement.
