A total of seventy woman patients with distal ureteral or intramural stone were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 included 35 patients who were advised to do sexual intercourse 3–4 times/week with the administration of symptomatic treatment, and group 2 (control group) included 35 patients receiving symptomatic treatment only and were instructed not to do sexual intercourse or masturbation during the study. After 4 weeks follow up; the expulsion rate, need for analgesic and ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy were compared for each group. The mean ages of the patients in groups 1 and 2 were 36.4 ± 10.8, 37.1 ± 12.4, respectively. The mean stone size was 7.01 ± 1.6 in group 1, 6.67 ± 1.4 mm in group 2 (p: 0.3). Stone expulsion rate, in the first 2 weeks for group 1 was 80% (28/35), while 51.4% (18/35) in group 2 (p
