Women with kidney stones can have normal sexual intercourse without any significant effects as long as the stones are not in acute pain. If the stones are infected or cause severe pain, this may have an effect on sexual activity and should be avoided as much as possible during the period of infection or acute pain, otherwise the pain may be aggravated or the infection may spread. When there are red blood cells in the urine, the blood is a good culture medium for bacteria, which are more likely to multiply in the blood, so the probability of urinary tract infection will increase. When a woman has a kidney stone, she can have sexual activity if she does not have any conscious symptoms, but if she has pain, infection or bleeding, she cannot have sexual activity.
