Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, I would like to ask for advice. I have had kidney stones for many years. Recently, I heard that poor kidney function can affect sexual function, and I am very worried that my kidney stones might also affect it. I don't know what to do. Do kidney stones affect sexual function?Doctor's answer:
Kidney stones will never affect sexual function. It is important to treat the disease correctly and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment. Patients with kidney stones should increase fluid intake in daily life to promote the excretion of stones, and may need to be hospitalized for lithotripsy if necessary. In daily life, patients with kidney stones should avoid the intake of high oxalate foods such as spinach, beet, tomato, nuts, peanuts, and chocolate to prevent the worsening of kidney stones.
