Hi dear.Thanks for your query.

If you are about to undergone a stent procedure then chances of infection are high especially during a sexual activity/intercourse.I completely understand your concern and I deeply regret to explain the implied risk.

I would suggest you to use a barrier such as condom as an alternative option.Hope this answers your query.
