Can I have sex if I have ureteral stones?

Ureteral stones are a relatively serious disease and should be treated promptly if you have it. As for the question of whether you can have sex if you have ureteral stones, this depends on the specific situation. If the symptoms are relatively mild, you can have sex, but if the condition is relatively serious, you should seek treatment in time to avoid adverse stimulation caused by sexual behavior, which may cause the ureteral stones to worsen.

Can I have sex if I have ureteral stones?

The vast majority of ureteral stones originate from the kidneys, including renal stones or stone fragments falling after extracorporeal shock wave therapy. Because urinary salt crystals are more easily discharged into the bladder with urine, primary ureteral stones are extremely rare. From this we can see that stones in the ureter are generally caused by stones flowing from other places to this part. This may be something that many friends don’t know.

Some couples may suddenly feel a cramp-like pain in their abdomen during sexual intercourse, which manifests as pain in the upper abdomen and then slowly shifts to pain in the lower abdomen. I thought the symptoms would improve after resting, but there was no sign of relief, so I remembered to go to the hospital for treatment. After understanding the situation, the doctor said that the pain was caused by the movement of stones due to sexual intercourse, and the stones had shifted from the kidneys to the ureters. After an X-ray confirmed that it was a stone in the upper right urethra and obstruction, the patient was very confused. Could sexual intercourse also cause the stone to shift?

The main symptoms of ureteral stones are hematuria and pain related to activity. The pain is related to factors such as the location and size of the stone, whether it is active or not, the presence or absence of complications and their degree. Large stones in the renal pelvis and calyx may have no obvious clinical symptoms, and only manifest as microscopic hematuria after activity. If the stones cause obstruction of the renal calyx neck, or if the renal calyx stones are not very active, they may cause dull pain in the upper abdomen or lower back. Renal colic occurs when stones cause obstruction at the ureteropelvic junction or in the ureter.

Therefore, it can be seen that ureteral stones will affect sexual life.

In fact, there is no absolute relationship between ureteral stones and sexual life, and it cannot be simply said whether it is possible or not.

However, since the stone is being expelled, it is possible that some stones remain in the urethra and can be expelled with ejaculation. It is best not to have sexual intercourse.

Experts suggest that if you have ureteral stones:

should:

1. Pay attention to dietary fiber intake

2. Increase intake of calcium-containing foods

3. Eat more foods rich in vitamins

Not suitable

1. Limit the intake of foods high in oxalate

2. Control the intake of animal protein foods

3. Avoid eating high-salt foods

Therefore, patients should try to reduce the frequency of sexual life, which will undoubtedly be beneficial to the body's recovery. At the same time, they should cooperate with the treatment and pay attention to their diet.
