My boyfriend and I started having sex. Then afterward, (a week or so) I started getting what I think might be kidney stones. It's not pleasant at all. I've passed approximately 3-5 within a span of two months. Or I think so, seeing as I haven't visited a doctor for this. What concerns me, or brought this to my attention was the fact that when we hadn't had sex in about a week and a half, I passed a stone and was fine, I was back to normal and everything was ok. Then recently we had sex again, and seemingly I am urinating frequently, and very little each time, I can't hold it because it hurts to hold it. And, it always feels like I'm ready to pee, and when it doesn't feel like that, it feels horrible. I just wanted to know if anyone had found something or heard something that would link sex and kidney stones, or urinary tract infections. I'm doubtful it's a UTI because it goes and then comes back. So, can push along kidney stone "process"? Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks.

Ok, so, I realized my symptons fit more along the lines of a UTI then Kidney Stones... I have more symptons to match up, and because before I didn't know they could come and go, I thought it could only be a Kidney Stone.
Question is now.... Will advil work as a good pain reliever when having to deal with the pain of a UTI. I'm constantly hydrating myself, and planning on picking up some Cranberry Juice. So, can advil help ease the pain?

If you have kidney stones, they are not caused by having sex. A uti can be caused by having sex. Kidney stones can cause a uti. Here is an informative web site. http://health.howstuffworks.com/urinary-tract-infection-in-depth3.htm
IF you have stones, the best way to flush them out is to drink a LOT of water.

It sounds like a UTI. You can try over the counter medication like AZO and definitely drink cranberry juice, but not the real sugary kind or the cocktail kind those dont help.
Your boyfriend might have some sort of bacteria problem.
Maybe you both should try washing yourself before and after sex. You really need to make sure you urinate after sex as well.

you probably do have a uti, and yes you could get one from having sex if boyfriend is not clean, you could actually get it from anything, wrong detergent, not wiping front to back, if left untreated it could turn into a kidney infection, and symptoms could come and go, go to doctors, check for stds also, could mimic uti, good luck

I couldn't just sit around and do nothing like my doctors suggested.
They didn't want me to do anything or to take herbs or herbal remedies, but I had to try something - they just wanted me to do dialysis!
This program allowed me to take control of my health. I went from Stage 4 to Stage 3 kidney disease.
It was easy to do and my BUN, creatinine and anemia are all in better ranges.

I don't know about the stones -- but if it's your first time having sex, UTIs are common. I think it has something to do with your nether regions not being used to being invaded by foreign objects!!
