Patient's question:
I am still a student, and then because of excessive sexual activity, I was discovered by the hospital to have bilateral renal calculi and renal atrophy. I am very distressed now and dare not tell my family. I don't know what to do, and I feel even more upset that my classmates might mock me after finding out. I now have a feeling of wanting to take my own life. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
A 19-year-old student with sexual needs can use sexual intercourse as a normal way to meet physiological needs. Sexual intercourse will never cause kidney stones or kidney atrophy. First, eliminate psychological stress and mental tension, and then go to the urology department of a local hospital for a thorough examination. Some causes of kidney stones include hereditary factors, environmental factors, dietary habits, and occupation. For example, various types of calcium salt stones, high cholesterol stones, and high uric acid stones accumulate in the kidneys to form kidney stones.
