Can patients with kidney stones have sex?

Many patients with kidney stones wonder if couples can still have sex if they have this disease? In fact, patients with kidney stones can have sex, but they need to be careful not to make large movements and not to have sex frequently. Active treatment is necessary.

1. Men with kidney stones can have sex, but they should be careful not to make too big movements. Because if the movement is too big and the abdomen moves suddenly, the existing kidney stones will move and cause severe pain. At this time, the patient may experience paroxysmal pain, severe and unbearable pain, restlessness, sweating, nausea and vomiting.

2. During sexual intercourse, the location of pain and the range of radiation will vary depending on the location of the blockage caused by the stone. If the ureteropelvic junction or upper ureter is blocked, the pain is located in the waist and upper abdomen, and travels along the ureter, radiating to the ipsilateral testicle or labia and inner thigh. If the middle part of the ureter is blocked, the pain radiates to the middle and lower abdomen, and the right side can easily be confused with acute appendicitis. If the stone is located in the ureterovesical segment or at the ureteral orifice, it is often accompanied by bladder irritation and radiating pain in the urethra and glans penis.

3. Generally speaking, stones only cause local damage to the kidneys and will not have a major impact on the body. In this respect, kidney stones do not affect sexual life. But when the stones are serious, they often cause the loss of function of the affected kidney, which in turn causes damage to the entire body, and this may affect sexual life. It is worth noting that there are many clinical cases of acute renal colic caused by patients with this disease during sexual life. Therefore, it is better for patients with this disease to receive timely treatment and remove the stones to feel relieved!

4. Male friends with kidney stones should try to have less sex. If you find severe pain during sex, you should consider the possibility of stone metastasis and go to a regular specialist hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to say goodbye to the trouble of kidney stones as soon as possible.
