Patient's question:
A while ago, I suddenly experienced sharp lower abdominal pain that was unbearable. I quickly went to the hospital for an ultrasound examination, and the result was kidney stones. It was recommended to pass the stones. I have now undergone a stone-passage surgery and am currently recovering. I would like to ask if kidney stones affect male fertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello, kidney stones do not affect fertility. For asymptomatic urinary tract stones, daily life is no different from that of ordinary people.In daily life, avoid eating foods high in calcium: because calcium is one of the main components of stones.
Limit salt intake: because salt and calcium have a synergistic effect in the body and can interfere with the metabolism of drugs used to prevent and treat kidney stones.
Avoid eating vegetables high in oxalates: because oxalates combine with calcium in the body to form calcium oxalate, which can deposit as stones.
Green vegetables contain high levels of oxalates, with spinach having the highest content. Therefore, people with kidney stones should avoid eating spinach.
