I've been suffering from severe pain due to a kidney stone and I'm looking for anything that might help pass it. A friend casually mentioned something about ejaculation possibly helping. Is there any basis to this claim that ejaculating can help in passing kidney stones?

Actually, some studies suggest that ejaculation can help relax the lower ureter, which might help pass very small stones. However, this only applies to small stones and is not a main treatment. Please drink lots of water and see a urologist if you are in pain.

There is some medical research showing it helps for distal ureteral stones, but it is not a guaranteed fix. If you have a kidney stone, the most efficient thing to do is get an ultrasound done and consult a urologist directly.

Well, that's one way to look at stone removal! But seriously, while some research says it might help a little with tiny stones, don't rely on it as a miracle cure. Stick to drinking gallons of water instead!

I read about this online when my partner was suffering from a stone, and it sounded so weird to me. Did anyone actually try this and see any real results, or is it just an internet myth? The pain looked so awful.

Look, don't stress over these online remedies too much. While there might be some truth to it relaxing the muscles, the safest and most proven way is to stay hydrated and take the medicines prescribed by your doctor. Take care.
