Patient's question:
I've been experiencing pain around my abdomen recently. Yesterday morning, I went to the hospital for a health check-up, and the thorough examination revealed that I not only have kidney stones but also kidney hydronephrosis. However, both conditions are not very serious. The only thing is that I usually have sexual habits, and now that I'm sick, I'm a bit worried about recovery. Can I still have sexual intercourse with kidney hydronephrosis and kidney stones?Doctor's answer:
As for your current symptoms, it is recommended that you first treat the kidney stones and then address the issue of hydronephrosis. It is best to first check the size and location of the stones. If possible, it is still advisable to use extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Additionally, encourage the patient to drink more water to promote the passage of the stones. In terms of diet, it is essential to maintain a light diet and avoid greasy foods, especially spicy and irritating foods.
