Does kidney transplantation affect sexual function?

Patient's question:

I am 45 years old, male, and I have kidney problems. I am preparing for a kidney transplant surgery, but I am worried about its impact on my future sex life. Please ask: Does kidney transplantation affect sexual function?

Doctor's answer:

A kidney transplant surgery should be performed at a reputable and large hospital. It has little impact on sexual function after a kidney transplant. However, special attention should be paid during the recovery period after the surgery, and medical advice should be followed. For men over 35, sexual function gradually declines, so it is important to avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, and to engage in appropriate exercise to improve sexual function. After the surgery, special attention should be paid to daily life, with a diet focusing on light and simple foods. I hope the above answer helps you. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
