Patient's question:
I only found out after the kidney transplant, but I heard that it's not advisable to take immune-boosting products, as the doctor said it could lead to rejection. I'm not sure if that's true, so I want to know if sexual function changes after a kidney transplant?Doctor's answer:
After a kidney transplant, sexual function will never change. Kidney transplantation is one of the measures to treat end-stage renal disease. The transplanted kidney is placed in the iliac fossa. After the surgery, long-term use of immunosuppressants to prevent rejection is required. Commonly used drugs include corticosteroids, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, etc. In addition to regular medication, blood drug concentration tests should be conducted periodically. At the same time, due to medication, facial hair, buffalo hump, and vellus hair may continue to grow.
