Is sexual function affected after kidney transplantation

Sexual function is usually not affected after kidney transplant and patients need not worry too much. Kidney transplantation is to transplant the kidney of a healthy person to a person who suffers from kidney disease and loses kidney function. Generally, after kidney transplantation, it has no effect on the level of sex hormones in the patient’s body, and generally will not affect their sexual function. However, it should be noted that in the early stage of kidney transplantation, it is not recommended for patients to have intercourse too early, so as not to damage their health, which is not conducive to the recovery of the body. In the early stage of recovery, bed rest is needed, appropriate turning to prevent bedsores and avoid twisting the body. As the disease recovers, patients can gradually get out of bed and avoid sudden squatting, so as not to squeeze or pull the kidneys to cause accidents. For diet, choose food with high quality protein, low fat, low cholesterol, low sugar and low salt, and eat less spicy and stimulating food. During the recovery period of kidney transplantation, patients need to follow the doctor’s instructions for regular checkups, and once abnormal discomfort occurs, they need to go to regular hospitals in time for relevant examinations, and actively cooperate with the doctor to take relevant treatment measures.
