The scientific journal Urology published an article in which it is reported that an effective way to combat kidney stones is sex. In the fact that sex plays the role of reliable prevention of nephrolithiasis, Turkish scientists.

Doctors suggested that regular sex life promotes spontaneous removal of renal calculi located in the lower part of the ureter. To test this theory, voluntary participants in the study were divided into three groups: in the first, volunteers had sex at least three to four times a week; in the second, people received tamsulosin daily (a drug against urolithiasis), and the third was a control.

Two weeks later, it was found that the vast majority of patients from the first group (83.9%) got rid of kidney stones. In the second group, only 47.6% of them were counted, whereas in the control group, who led their usual way of life, they were the least - 34.8%.

At the same time, scientists reported that they fixed in all three groups the property of regular sex to accelerate the excretion of calculi that form kidney stones. But in each he showed the effect for different times - in the first on the average this process was carried out most quickly.

Doctors remind us that renal stone disease is the most common of all urological diseases. If small concrements can still be excreted from the kidneys with urine, without causing unpleasant sensations, then large ones are capable of causing ureteral obstruction and acute pain nedug. en.
