This case report details the first instance of renal colic occurring during sexual intercourse. The physical movements involved may have dislodged a kidney stone, similar to therapeutic techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology
  • Case Reports

Background:

  • Renal stones affect 5-21% of the population, often recurring in active adults aged 40-50.
  • Kidney stones typically form in the calyx and cause symptoms upon obstructing the upper urinary tract.

Observation:

  • A patient experienced renal colic, characterized by severe pain, during sexual intercourse.

Findings:

  • This is the first reported case of renal colic associated with sexual activity.
  • The physical exertion and body positioning during intercourse may have induced stone movement, analogous to percussion therapy or postural drainage used post-lithotripsy.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a potential, albeit unusual, trigger for symptomatic kidney stones.

  • Further investigation into the biomechanics of stone passage during physical activity may be warranted.
