Should people with kidney stones have sex?

Hello Mr Junjaram,

Thank you for your question.

There is no direct relation between kidney stones and sexual activity. You may engage in regular sexual activity. However, for concerns related to kidney stones, it's best to consult a surgeon or urologist.

Treatment for kidney stones depends on factors such as the size and location of the stone. Additionally, a study conducted in 2015 suggested that patients with distal ureteral stones ≤6 mm and a sexual partner may be advised to have sexual intercourse 3-4 times a week to increase the probability of spontaneous passage of the stones. However, this recommendation may vary on a case-by-case basis.

It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and recommendations based on your medical situation and medical history.
