What are the serious effects of kidney stones on sexual function?

Patient's question:

Since I developed some kidney stones, I noticed that my sexual function has declined. I don't know if it's affected by the kidney stones or other reasons. Anyway, other reasons haven't been found yet. What impact do kidney stones have on sexual function?

Doctor's answer:

Kidney stones themselves do not cause any significant impact on sexual function. However, if the stones recur repeatedly, in severe cases, they may lead to the recurrence of kidney dysfunction, which can also result in symptoms of kidney deficiency. This can indirectly affect the quality of sexual life. However, if proper care is taken early on to manage the condition, it will not have a major impact on sexual life. Currently, it is still necessary to conduct thorough examinations, such as those for the prostate, to check for other diseases that may be causing the abnormal sexual function.
