Having An Intercourse 3-4 Times a Week Can Help Remove Your Kidney Stones!

Would you believe your specialist in the event that he recommended to have intercourse to cure your kidney stones? A solution to engage in sexual relations to cure this condition appears like a joke but it is true.

A recent study conducted by a group of researchers from the clinic of Ankara Training and Research Hospital in Turkey suggests having intercourse at least 3 to 4 times a week can help with the spontaneous passage of kidney stones

The Hospitals Department of Urology researchers split 75 patient participants into 3 groups: the one group was advised to have intercourse at least 3 to 4 times each week. The second group was recommended with 0.4mg/dL Tamsulosin, a medicine utilized as a muscle relaxant as a part of the ureter and urinary bladder to help in passing the stones and the third group was given standard treatment, which is simply expanded liquid admission and painkillers, furthermore served as the control aggregate for the study. Tamsulosin is a drug commonly used to improve urination in men with enlarged prostates.

Two weeks after the studystart researchers found that 26 out 31 participants from the group were able to pass their kidney stones. On the other hand, only 10 of the 21 participants from the tamsulosin group and eight of the 23 participants from the standard medical treatment group successfully passed their stones. The average stone expelled by participants was measured at 4.7 millimeters.

The Annals of Emergency Medicine published a similar study, compared the effects of tamsulosin versus a placebo for treating both small and big kidney stones. Findings showed that while time seems to be an effective treatment for small kidney stones, doctors should turn to tamsulosin when treating patients with bigger stones.

Although 87 percent of patients treated with tamsulosin and 81.9 percent of those treated with the placebo were able to pass smaller kidney stones, the difference between success rates grew with bigger stones. When it came to stones measuring between five to 10 millimeters in length, 83.3 percent of patients from tamsulosin group successfully passed their stones compared to 61 percent of patients in the placebo group.

Fortunately, there are many options for avoiding kidney stones:
