A member asked:
My friend has kidney stones and may have to have them surgically removed. is it possible that the surgery could cause infertility?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: While having surgery may interrupt a single cycle, it is unlikely to cause infertility especially for renal stone surgery. The exception might be if the surgery results in some sort of renal failure.
